Why can't I remember
what happened
in my childhood

Why can't I remember
those good days
before everything became so tiring and overwhelming
before everything turned to ****

Why can't I remember
much more than bits and pieces
I just want to relish in those happy moments
reminisce in my past and forget about my present

Why can't I remember
don't you know that I cry nightly,
wishing to not grow up
wishing for just a bit more time

Why can't I remember
please, just let me remember
please?
