Amnesia

by gack60   Oct 16, 2007


What happens if one day u wake up and find,
The life that you had was erased from your mind.

All of the memories once held in your head,
Are buried somewhere, as though they are dead.

You search your heart to remember who you were,
But its no use, your life's just a blur.

The streets you once knew were now just a maze,
You wonder if you will ever awake from this daze.

Your friends and family were strangers to you now,
But deep down you know, you'll get through this somehow.

The path that you're walking, you've been down before,
But how did it end? You don't know; you're not sure.

You start to wonder, did it ever end at all?
Then through your stomach your heart starts to fall.

You start to wonder if its all just a dream,
After all, you've always said, things aren't what they seem.

You ask "what is my name", as you search in your soul,
The answer to this question was your number one goal.

You try to remember just a piece of your life,
Where do you work, do you have kids and a wife,

As these thoughts wonder round in your brain,
You stop to think, am I going insane?

you wonder if your life had any regret,
suddenly you realize you've broken out in a sweat.

Why is this happening, what have i done?
Is it nearly over, or has it only just begun?

You listen closely and hear a voice in your head,
You hear what its saying, but are you being misled?

The voice is telling you things aren't what they seem!
Its only then that you wake up from this terrible dream.

The moral of the story is to cherish what you've got,
Before one day you wake up, and its all just forgot.

    I love this piece, not just because the flow and rhyme structure are solid as a rock but also because it has a true meaning.
    Live life to the fullest and love what you have before its too late.

    Great sentiment portrayed throughout. I wonder if a better title for this would be "Wonder" .. I really like the way its repeated throughout the poem. Gives it an air of uncertainty about it.

    I think this would flow a little bit smoother if it was broken up into stanza's, seeing it as one big para makes it feel daunting (but that's just a personal thing).

    Overall good performance, enhanced by the fact that it's your first piece!

    Wonderful work Gaz.
    [5/5]
