Remember, remember, remember
Remember the leaves dancing across the pavement like ballerinas
Remember the yellows, oranges, and reds being swept away with the wind
Remember the laughs and smiles of the carefree
Remember the many colors in many graceful arcs across the sky
Remember times of friendship and family and feeling accepted
But whatever you do, don’t remember the letdowns
Don’t remember the times nothing that you did was good enough
Don’t remember the darkness falling like a blinding sheet, followed by isolation
Don’t remember the self-loathing carried around like the weight of the world
Don’t remember when nobody cared of the inky blackness that enveloped everything
Don’t remember when the world turned to blackness and melancholy
Instead, remember the memories of a happier time
