Forgetful
Forgotten
My mind's ever present lull
My neurons firing at cotton
Forgetful
Forgotten
Are my thoughts really null?
Am I really this rotten?
FORGETFUL
FORGOTTEN
IS IT JUST ME THAT FEELS RESENTFUL
OR DO I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON?
I AM FORGETFUL
I'VE BEEN FORGOTTEN
Forgive me, but, what's your name again?
Maybe it's right that I'm never remembered
Because other people, my mind has never rendered
Some, I know, I can write their entire history
But most people I know are an entire mystery
I've known these people for my whole life
But god help me, I can't remember the name of their wife
Their very face I can't picture
Could I be any thicker?
Why is it that only facts and song lyrics stick?
But when it comes to people I've hit a wall of brick
I can't be the only one with this malady
But it seems like I'm alone in this reality
And I don't see a solution
To my constant involution
Spiralling inwards with no conclusion
Barricading myself from any intrusions
I stand alone with an unanswerable question
Did I choose this, or is it a product of my inattention?
