"Forget"
Sometimes I catch myself
I am reflecting on things
Things that are of the past
I wish I would just stop
I want to just live
In the present
All I know is that
I keep forgetting
To remind myself
Of that fact
I want to remain
I want my future intact
I don't want the pain
That is associated with my
The things of the past
They just turn to dust
I only wish
The only thing that turns
The only thing that
Turns into dust
Are my dreams
The surface of my mind
I notice cracks in the crust
I just want to be
Want to forget
Who I am
For no matter what
Everything that is good
Anything that I believe
To be good
That I view as good
Just disappears
Into thin air
I am left with just tears
It seems as though unfair
I know though
That I have it easy
That is why I wonder
Where all these negative
These thoughts come from
I wonder
Will I ever forget
The past pain
Will I ever forgive
Myself for remembering
All the names
I was called
Hey Frankenstein
Why did you create me
I wonder within
Am I the son of
Doctor Frankenstein
I never remember
The sweet innocence
That is found in a kiss
Never had a childhood
A sweet romance
That I could remember
That set my heart to dance
I guess that I never
Never took a stance
I guess I wasn't the cool
The person I wish I could've been
I wish I could
Just plain forget
I wonder now
Is there someone out there
That could help me
That could show the joy
That could let me see
That the future
Can be bright
That the future is right
Bring my dreams in focus
Let me know they are insight
Someone to help forget
Someone good for me
Someone that
We could be good together
This is my simple wish
