Forget the Forgetful

#VocalNPM

Ever just want to fall into a hole and be forgotten?

Except I wouldn't be forgotten,

Not by the people that count

to me and me to them

It's funny how you think you've got a handle on life

You think you know the secret and it's over for those hoes

But then new hoes find new loopholes into your sorry existence

There are the obvious manipulative mind-gamers,

But then there are the hidden coals burning through your patience slowly.

First, they want to be great friends and you text everyday

Until they find someone else to text, to confide in

And when you begin to edge away from them, they try to pull you back in,

The main word being try,

You remember the good times and forget their forgetfulness of you,

And then they really forget about you.

You disappear from the group of people that count to them.

And if you were really gone, they wouldn't know for weeks, months, years.

You need to learn quickly who you matter to

The ones who don't have a handle on life

And still make a point to stick by you

The ones who have a handle on life

And make a point to help you through your existence

The ones who don't text you everyday

But make sure you know that

You are welcomed

You are loved

You are remembered.
