i feel a sharp pain
as i am forced to forget
as i am forced to become
as i am forced to regret
my mind works backwards
and all i do is remember the things
which don't exist
not anymore
the life i ought not live
it is all that i see
it is all that i can want
i am blindly living
a life
which is not what i once lived
i am crippled by thoughts
and by memories
which once were real
the life i live
the memories i conceive
the thoughts poured in me
are like those
of brain injury
so how can i keep going
in this life
which is not real
which is part fake
what about the life
that was stolen
from me.
