Poetry

A spoken word poem I wrote in under ten minutes. Ten minutes isn't enough time to make anything up, so all I had was truth an experience.

This is What I Remember

I remember not everything

Not all the things that hurt

I remember some things

That brought a smile on my face

While I pulled at my skirt

I remember the whisper

Or a shadow - but not its fall

I remember the truth of innocence

And amused smiles in the dark

I remember many things

If I try hard enough

But sometimes, in the rarest moments

In the caveren - bottomless and black

I don't remember anything

Not even myself
