The Ones that Once Were

Can you imagine being erased from history?
Erased from memory
Erased from existence itself
No one ever knew you
You existed without a cause
You existed just to die and suffer
You existed only in the womb for a short period if time and didnt make it out
Just the picture of your ultrasound of what could have been
You existed to suffer trauma and depression
You existed to become the monster you fell victim to
You existed to heal
You existed just to to be ignorant
You existed only to bring misery to others
You existed to bring happiness and peace
You existed just to keep trying to satisfy hunger but you never truly satisfied your craving
You existed only to grow more stupid and less wiser
You existed to be the opposite of what you saw as wrong because you want to do better
You existed to make a difference
You existed to be religious
You existed with no direction but trying to lead others
But you were erased and forgotten
How would you feel?
Were you worth remembering?
Like moments of deja vu telling you that you know this person...this face... looks familiar
From somewhere.....but I cant remember
Perhaps their soul recognize you as bringing them pleasure or pain
A subconscious memory that was faded along with time
You are the soul....the one...that once was
