Composed 3/3/14
Description: Do you ever hear anything, and it just hits you? Recently I’ve been hearing a lot of bad news, several rumors, and it just made me remember how little we really know about one another, how we have no idea what’s going on in another person’s head. And sometimes we don’t know until it’s too late.
So saliently I sense
The piercing of my own heart
That my mind lapses and
Skips
Over the trials of others
I forget that it’s not
I
Alone
That suffocates under the
Grip of isolation
It’s not just I who
Gags on the
Sour twinge of rejection
My brothers
Have been kicked out of their hearts
And wander in the wastelands of their minds
My sisters
Reside in their hearts as they’re breaking
And let their woe bleed out
In silence
My friends
We all shuffle
Instead of face one another
With our affliction
Because we forget
We’re all afflicted
But healing only comes
Under the synthesis
Of many minds
Of many hands
Scraps of Paper 
One thought on “We Forget”
