"Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door. Saul Bellow
I ONCE WAS
Today I am just me
In a place not chosen to be
Just where I landed, not in my dreams
So insignificant, it seems
Just one of many, average at best
Not the worst, but beneath the rest
No one inspires to be like me
In a massive forest an average tree
Alone in my darkness of near despair
I find my memories lurking there
It appears to me I've had my turn
And lived my life from stem to stern
Only insignificant in my own mind
Even though the best I've left behind
That's why memories were invented, you see
To prove your status in society
I once had my chance to shine
Now it's my time to move aside
I accept I peaked and that's because
I'll always have memories of what I was
