Forget

Sometimes I forget that this is life

That tomorrow may come

but yesterday is already gone

Sometimes I forget that I am real

and the things I say, and things I do

people hear, people see, 

and some times they care

Sometimes I forget how to smile

that I just want to cry

something eats me up inside

Sometimes I forget that Im not really sad

that some days are pointless

and everyone can feel bad

Sometimes I forget it's okay not to laugh

to think something isnt funny

and let the awkward moments pass

Sometimes I forget that it's okay to stare

that with a face like yours

its harder not to

Sometimes I forget that its hard to sleep

I am up until 4 AM

and dont realize until I wake up at noon

Sometimes I forget that its okay to yell

to feel angry, to get mad

and not just let it soak in

Mostly I forget that I'm here 

that I matter to someone

that I could be anywhere

And in moments like this

I forget someone cares

enough to love me for me

its a sense that is rare

I forget that Im kind

and deserve something great

just like any other person

I forget that Im loyal

and wonder why someone

would deal with my s**t for a lifetime

I forget that Im honest

because even the most trusting people

may never spill their secrets

and I forget that Im not alone

because wherever I am

you are with me
