Remembering

Thu, 12/25/2014 - 17:40 -- rexiusm

The love, The hate, The sadness;

those are all things we remember.

The kindness, The shame;

we remember more than others.

we walk along stone alleyways remembering, but will that ever get in our way?

when we walk past our future... will we walk past our hope?

i remember very little of how the past has affected me, i dont know why... why do i forget?

i am at the peak of youth heading towards adulthood some inches away, but i am still a child.

if i cannot look back to see my mistakes, how can i look foward to make sure i dont fail again?

tell me doctors; with your machines and smart minds... what is wrong with me.

a teen with barely any memories... im forgetting why i asked.

i will try to remember to ask you again later.

i will try.
