Yester Year

Forgetting the world around me,in favor of the yester year,

I fight the forgetfulness,the paralyzing fear

Pitying eye and cruel words, they look at me and see,

a feeble body, a broken mind, a phantom of who I used to be

My mind withdraws from today leaving me behind,

I’m scrambling in the darkness, feeling lost, trapped and blind.

Whose face is in the mirror, I’ve never seen it there before,

these eyes seem so familiar, I can feel it in my core,

but the memory is fleeting, locked behind an iron door.

Time is so unnerving, people change and grow every day,

Yet there are people in this world, who are dragged the other way.
