I don’t Remember

If it was important, you'd remember

Your brain has to delete to stay whole

I just forgot a friends funeral - trying now to beat the truth with an excuse :-p

this happens to me all the time
'specially at the bottom of the bottle

I find alcohol doesn't help (lol)

this is simple but so complex and i love it, try to remember

I am so glad you liked this short poem - written by a poet who suffered from post op dilerium  and was left with short term memory damage :-( thank you so much, this was a personal one :-)

I have post it nots everywhere, memos i my phone and yet things are still forgotten...its my genes I suppose. <3

I used to worry I was going senile, then one day I was going through a box of memories and found school report cards from when I was 6,7,8,9 years old. Two things were on all reports - "This boy is just a dreamer." and "this boy is so forgetful." - I stopped worrying about it :-)
