I lost my memory 

Again 

I got a new phone 

Big whoop

But you don't understand 

In this world 

You can save a moment 

Take a picture

Document it for life 

Of a conversation 

Or even just thoughts that cross your mind in the dead of night 

This is a world within worlds

Where your world can be connected to another 

Some place you wouldn't think twice about 

Not in the "real world" 

Where maybe at one second

You remember 

Something 

A face 

And you try the best you can to express what you feel 

But all that's around 

Is a rectangular object 

A small device 

You don't have pen 

And even if you did

The motion of your wrist will take your mind to another place

Of writing

Another time where you were forced

To write?

To spell your name correctly

I'm gone

My mind is in  another thought 

Why can't I complete a sentence 

Because I don't remember 

 

I lost my memory 

Again 


The author's comments:

There's this thing called a train of thought that I must not have due to some head injuries I've experienced throughout my life. One of which has been the least traumatic but most significant. I was in a severe car accident when I was about 5 years old where I was ejected from the car for not having a seatbelt on and my skull broke through one of the windows. This accident killed my dad and caused me to lose any childhood memories since and after then. I have also had some minor concussions since then and just have an overall terrible memory that affects my every-day life. In addition, I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes or if you simply did not enjoy reading it. I did just copy it straight out of my phone notes and it was very late when I wrote it.
