Potent Memories

I do not want to remember what I should forget

I do not want to forget what I should remember

But my memories are cursed

Because I lived too long in my own make-believe world

And not in the real world

I have lied many times and said many things

Such as the real world has no room for me in it

But when it comes to important things

My mind draws a blank

I want to go back now

And forget about my make-believe world

I want to remember 

That I have a place in the real world
