What am I forgetting? Those errant parts of my life Undesirable elements Genetic shortcomings beyond my control Devils never make you do it The unhealthy relationships The fairweather friendships Random acts of chaos The ones who died That made us cry Images pounding retinas via media The family that nurtured us Came to the games and all the plays The family that alienated us Reminded us that we were never normal Remember the faith you once had The higher power that changed your life The great letdown The lovers who decided forever had to end
