Lost

I feel lost

the holes in my memory

are too numerous to count.

I become a green-eyed monster

when friends brag about vacation & trips

even though I have taken more trips

to superior locations.

I do not remember.

 

The minuscule fragments of

my childhood paint a depressing picture.

Abandonments, death after death after death,

Homelessness, loneliness, imperfectness.

My memories have collectively signed a DNR.

They are unrecoverable.

Lost forever in the holes my mind created

to prevent insanity.
