death = loss

Like The Frustration of.... 

a Blank Sheet of Paper

by christine davidson

I am older now but still feel like I'm young

My body tells the truth

My mind sometimes plays dumb

You see, I am sure all the memories are there

Yet, just as quick as I get a glimpse of one

I search for it and find it nowhere

Sometimes I will try with all my might

To remember what I forgot

O how it keeps me up at night

I think it's an important piece of the puzzle

So I just won't let go

I've got to know

It's like my brain has been covered with a muzzle

This is a battle I just can't win

God knows I've tried

Again and again

Now I'm mad......I'm done!

I don't need it anyway

My mind slips back to playing dumb

Until next time
