I Am

by Joey Matthews   Oct 9, 2015


I dread the moment where I forget,
all the days that passed me behind.
And how I try to stumble,
through cohesion, I try.
Darkened mist blackens my mind,
and how I try, through emerald skies.
I close my eyes shut & long for you,
It's too hard to dwell, I adjure.
I wish I could explain myself,
though I can't no more.
My memories escape,
It's who I am.
I accept my fate, I try,
I am.

    Ah, Joey I never read your work before but am looking forward to reading.

    So anyone who knows me well knows I don't like repitition in a poem, but I actually really enjoyed the use of "I try" here. I like the way you use it, perfectly punctuated too!

    And I actually found this poem to be encouraging because you use that word. Its a feeling we've all been through but if its something we see someone actually is trying to push through it.

    Well done.

      I know how you feel, I'm not a big fan of repeating lines but inspired by a friends work - I decided to write my feelings about being forgetful. I think this comes across as a depressive poem also though.

      Thank you for taking the time to comment on this, I appreciate your kind words Chelsey.
