Lost, Found, & Forgotten [A Collection of Poems]

Memories

random poem.....not much to explain. Kind of just random poem writing. Personal experience? You'll never know.

***

I am on

the edge;

on the fringe

of society.

No one remembers

my name,

my face,

my accomplishments.

But they remember

the mistakes,

the accidents,

the awful things I did.

I am no one

of importance—

the kind of person you see

daily, without a second

thought. You don’t know

me, but you know

how I look without

clothing.

A stupid mistake

done out of love for

a boy

who I thought would love me

forever.

Forever is where

I went wrong.

One picture, one text,

will live in cyberspace

for eternity.

I am my mistake.

I am held

hostage

by my past.

The dirty looks,

the whispered story;

I crack under the

pressure

from my peers.

With one

simple mistake,

a life has been altered

indefinitely.

I cannot live down

who I have become,

the memories will live

eternally.
