Dreams of Forgetfulness

up and down and through the darkness

it finds me

it makes me

it takes me

to places I don't want to go

to places I have never been

to places best left in the dark

but little by little

I work my way out

I work my way through

and conquer the past

and take hold of my mind

get a grip on my fate

get a grip on my life

but that day has yet to come

I wake from the dream

to find that I still remember

that the war still rages on

to reclaim my heart

to make myself whole

to find the hope that someday

I might forget to remember
