Remember

There is a voice inside my head.

When I am trying my hardest to concentrate

I often lose track of attention

A voice,

Not my voice

Whispers

Nothing big or scary

It only plugs my attention

It resets

I forget what I was thinking, or talking about.

The voice stole my line of thought

Hid it in the treasure of a pirate map

Who we hypnotised by mermaids

It embitters me

Forms difficulties during arguments.

And it makes me feel less in control about myself

It is as if life has set limitations for me

That I feel I cannot cross

If I were a mermaid

I would leave the brave pirates from drowning

And swallowing their soul

I would remember and gently guide them to shoal

Remember
