There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes. ~William Makepeace Thackeray
Like soft spoken children they nudge me on the arm
and refuse to be forgotten
getting my attention one way or another
words
they have been a foe
and my faithful friend
an adored lover
and an annoying neighbor
relentless yet true
giving me a chance
to not just speak
but truly be heard
and ultimately strive
to not be forgotten.
************************************************************************
I used to write to not be forgotten
now I write to not forget
I spent years
filling pages upon pages
with words and thoughts
ideas and rhymes
hoping to be heard
and I still do
but now
I also have lists
upon lists of things
I need to do
it seems
that list
never ends.........and
I am in a never ending cycle
of forgetting things on the list.
