One Day Forgotten

By Chandra Perkins

I’m lost and confused. I’m completely turned around. I’m going nowhere special, but my feet are on the ground. I have this small obsession to hurt myself when things go wrong. I live my life in aching question; how I’ve survived it this long. The worst of times just keep coming without pause in sight. I can look up and look on, but that doesn’t make it right. I can wake up each morning, make my bed, put on my clothes. I can smile to my friends, and the sadness never shows; Claim I’m just fine, having controversial thoughts inside my head, and hang out and pass the time no truth in what I’ve said. Down at the end of the alley, rummaging in the dark are shadows just like me who had forgotten who they are.
