My mind is like a sieve.
By ten o'clock, I've forgotten what I ate for breakfast.
Seconds take forever.
Hours end before they ever began.
Birthdays, holidays, and afternoon plans are forgotten in an instant.
Childhood memories of playing with friends,
Name-calling and mean glances,
Trauma of a fourth grader,
A lullaby,
A friend's laugh,
A certain song I fell in love with,
Summer days of my youth,
Two loving parents,
A wish to a star,
A toddler's favorite book,
Laughter and smiles and everything childhood should be;
Forgotten.
My mind is like a sieve.
I blink and it's tomorrow.
