Memory
Memory
Of what?
Who?
I remember days
Rain and sun
With family
Friends
I remember losing
Fighting
Crying
All for nothing
Except a memory
I remember
Do they?
Should they?
I don't know
So I remember
For them
And for me
I love life
So I remember
I care about the past
And the present
Alongside the future
So I remember
Three little kids
One grows up
One stays the same but gets older
One becomes a new person
Who should I follow?
Who should I remember?
I will remember
What I can
Because that is my choice
Memories over hate
I remember cleanly
Without bias
This is the price of a memory
The choice you make with it
I will make my choice
Will you?
Will they?
If you can, you should
Remember
