"I Remember" by Bill

I remember

Too much

Every embarrassment

Every mistake

Every wrong turn

I desperately want to forget

Even if it means losing the good memories too

The overwhelming weight of

My long list of mistakes

Is too much to bear

I used to have a way to forget

At least temporarily

But that is no longer an option

All I can do now

Is wait for dementia

The good news is time moves faster the older you get
