What Is Seen Is Not Forgotten

They say my family has left.

They say it’s because-

I just wouldn’t hold still. 

I just wouldn’t corporate. 

Or answer their questions right. 

They invaded my mind. 

With images of my family walking away. 

I hope you get lost in my head!

And forget to steal my last cherished memory. 

Just before unconsciousness bloomed.
