Forgetful
My eyes became red and I was trying to rub it away.
Then I jerk awake and everything is bright and different.
Everyone is moving and whirling around me.
I’m hiding,
I’m hiding but they know.
As if a stranger has been tapping at my door, and I’ve been hiding so I don’t have to answer.
Hiding and hiding, and they never go away.
Tapping turns to banging.
And it’s just my parents.
But I forgot I have parents.
I am numb.
So I forgot.
