forget (Remove filter)
Drifting
Until sweet sleep washes over you
And you allow it to carry you away
Peacefully surrendering to the tide
Abandoning your body...
You drift from the bay
Falling under the lapping waves
Deeper and deeper into calming darkness
Letting go and forgetting
At the very same time
Until eyes open like the shore
Crashing onto the rocks
And sun expands across you
Placing yo...

Average
The punishment of being average
Working hard to be insignificant
To be unimpressionable
Forgettable
Not memorable
Categorically credible

Even unknown to villains
With separate woes,

Because another memory has entered you
Like intruders, they force their way inside
They punch their way into your attention
They invade your heart
Until you must look at them
All so that they can violate you again

Misplaced Memory
Minds mould cannot always bend to the will - Look!
A blur of surreal reality:
itβs vivid, a memory, a means
but travel through years
and maybe itβs a dream,
or the worst fear:
(for the youth with infantile stretch marks to hear)
Forgotten.
For the youths with flat ironed flesh and barely dogmarked ears,
what we all fear
is to forget.
Tell the boy with the newly ...
