Forgotten
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?
