Forget

You tell yourself every night
"I hope I live long enough to wake up in the morning".
In the morning you tell yourself
"I hope I live long enough to go to sleep tonight".
And you forget about it after awhile.

You tell yourself that you don't want to die
After awhile you learn you're already dead.

You tell yourself that you're hungry
But soon your stomach eases off

You tell yourself that killing is wrong
That dies after countless determined flashes.

You forget.
You remember years later.
