![]() My Tuneless SongA Poem by Atton Brown![]() This was me, after I had decided to give up on life...![]()
Memories, memories plague my mind Plague mankind Everyone wishes they could forget that time A time, any time, a time of regret Forget That they messed up so bad Want to forget that mistake For God’s sake My mistake made others so sad But he’s always so damn mad… Damn dad But I refrain And I feel it tedious to dwell on the pain That I cause, that I tolerate I feel it unnecessary to dwell on the hate Just know it exists And persists Sits There in the back of my skull This push, this pull The battle in our hearts While we search for our parts Our parts in this play This life, this fray A fight for freedom, a fight for peace Truth and understating before we decease And I call out, please…
Remember who I am and not who I appear to be Remember those I loved and hold dear to me Forget the façade and the masks, now it’s clear to me Just remember me…
It’s called the past because I’m passed it and the present cuz it’s a gift But in the future when I’m gone, why would you just sit and sift Search and rifle Through my old things, stifle A tear or two Wishing I’m near to you Why would you do that after anyone leaves? They wouldn’t want for you to sit and grieve Their gone forever, they know you love ‘em but you can never see ‘em Carpe diem And live, embrace each day as though it were your last Move forward and put your behind in the past No wait…your past behind you Don’t sit around and let the anger unwind you Take a deep breath, and send up a prayer Ignore the ignorance, the negativity, the naysayer And do what you want, what you feel What you feel is right and always be real Be true to whomever you choose to be But make sure its You; not her, him, or me And on your everlasting quest to be internally free I simply ask that you remember me
Remember who I am and not who I appear to be Remember those I loved and hold dear to me Forget the façade and the masks, now it’s clear to me Just remember me…
I feel like I’m saying the same thing over, repeatedly Tediously, needlessly Trying to save Before you’re enslaved Throwing up the words but actions right behind them Refine them Fine tune them before you execute Restitute The meaning And they’ll be left feening For you cuz you’ll have power And they’ll just cower Because they’ve all put you down and in their eyes You’re weak, but not it’s your time to rise To rise like I’ve hoped you finally can I sincerely hope you understand the task at hand I pray you realize that it’s time to change You can’t go on like this, though it’ll seem strange It’s time Ours not just mine And as you augment and ascend I hope you never forget me, your friend
Remember who I am and not who I appear to be Remember those I loved and hold dear to me Forget the façade and the masks, now it’s clear to me Just remember me… © 2011 Atton Brown |
