I remember

I dream of her from dawn till dusk.

I'll remember her till I am dust.

Move on, I must.

I've become a vegetable.

Everything else is forgettable.

I remember being bullied.

On my fear, they would feed.

They spread the damn virus.

Took from me my shyness; kindness.

"You thought I was interested in you, you freak?!!"

I remember her.

I remember my first cigarette, when times were bleak.

I remember the first time I smoked weed.

I remember the first time I smoked dope.

I remember being laughed at.

Even by those that were supposed to teach.

I remember how they gave up on me, those that would preach.

I remember having no one to reach.

Deeper I descend into madness.

It tries to take over; malice.

When you have nothing to fill your time, you fill it with memories. Some are pleasant, some not so. There are sad memories here of a lost love, there are memories of negative experiences. They can be difficult to shake off. Sometimes they take over and we can sink into depression or even worse. That's where my thoughts went as I read this poem pinhead.

Your review is spot on ma’am! :)))

The character is an agoraphobic with nothing left but memories, he focuses on the bad ones, depression and all manner of mental illnesses ensue as he’s been drained of all love. He blames people, he blames the girl he loved. He is close to being totally mentally unsound and close to being capable of everything wrong.

When he knows who he is, that:s when he can start climbing the mountain. One step at a time. Slowly does it.
