I Keep Forgetting to Remember

Lately, I've been forgetting. 

The number of things my mind trails behind my head...

I keep forgetting to put my shoes on in the morning

Sometimes it's just one shoe

What does this mean?

Will I forget everything about myself?

Will I forget you?

But as I remember questions, something else leaves my brain

Taking things in takes other things out

It's almost like a light bulb as it cools down

One thing stays in my mind always

A question

A single question

Will tonight be the last time I'll see the light?

I always start to cry... And you're always there for me

You try to calm me down

You ask me questions, and I try to remember them...

And I try

And I try

And I try

And something clicks

My mind remembers

Just one 

"When will we own ourselves completely?"

That question gave me strength

It became louder and stronger in my mind, and I started to remember

Remember

...Remember...

.......Remeber

Remember what?

I keep forgetting to remember
