Dear Memory Loss

I will not let you defeat me, I am much stronger than you.

I will not let you define me, I am more than this one issue.

I wont allow you to make me cry, no matter how much I don’t understand why,

I wont allow you into my nightmares, you will not ruin anymore of my nights.

You cannot stop me from socialising, that’s for my anxiety to do,

You cannot stop me from getting out of bed, I refuse to stay here with you.

I will tell the world about you, I will give you plenty of fame,

I will tell you it’s not because I am proud, It’s because you have no name.

No one knows or understands what you are,

No one knows or understands the mental scar.

You’ve stolen from me, two years of my life,

You’ve stolen from me, that’s not fair nor right.

I’m lucky, and I’m much better than you,

I’m lucky, I have more support than you do.

I’ve had my life rocked and tipped upside down, all from what you’ve done,

I’ve had my life pushed right to the edge, and my feelings made so numb.

I will now stand proud, with my middle finger raised,

As a salute to the unwanted, extremely forgetful days.
