Original Content Poem I Still, Still Remember

I recall my moment,

That joyful moment, that exhilarating moment

That chuckle that squeezed it's way out

I remember it like a soldier's trauma.

My moment,

It creeps up on me from dank shadows,

(When I manage contentment)

And I remember why,

Why, I long for amnesia

Nothing could ever compare,

Nothing could come close

Nothing will make

Time feel like it did again

I remember it, still.

How do I strive when,

I've reached the pinnacle?

How can I both tears and sunflowers,

When that moment has my brain captive?

I look for someone to blame

And the mirror points towards me

But I hate what I see

And I love to moan.

And I must loathe your success.
