| “Reminders”
I screwed up! Do I have to be reminded of it? A memory that won’t go away; A mistake that took away myself; A loneliness that has returned; A fear that I can’t escape; A mistake my friends constantly remind me of; Reminders are tearing me apart. An off-color comment now and again is okay, But being reminded every single day? I just want to get away and start anew, Even if I have to forget a friend or two. The reminders of a past mistake and my past Are keeping me from being myself. Those reminding and the reminders are fast Ruining my happiness and mental health. I screwed up! May I please not have constant reminders? Megan Delia Ratcliff 06 May 1999 |
