"Remember Me"

I don’t want to be remembered as his sister.

I don’t want to be remembered as the girl with acne.

I don’t want to be remembered as their daughter.

I want to be remembered as me.

 

I don’t want to be remembered as insecure.

I don’t want to be remembered as short.

I don’t want to be remembered as depressed.

I want to be remembered for so much more.

 

Remember when I was good at dance?

Remember how I’ve never been kissed?

Remember how I chose not to fall in love?

I do not want to be remembered for this.

 

I don’t want to be remembered for something I am not.

I don’t want to be remembered for what I was.

I do not want to be remembered for how I used to be.

I don’t want to be remembered just because…

 

I don’t want to be remembered for my heritage.

I don’t want to be remembered for disliking ham.

I do not want to be remembered for what I was.

I want to be remembered for who I am.

 

I do not want to be remembered as his ex girlfriend.

I do not want to be remembered for all my past mistakes.

I do not want to be remembered as her best friend.

And I don’t want to be remembered as the girl he hates.

 

I want to be remembered for what I can do.

For what I do now,

I don’t want to be remembered for my failing grades.

I want you to remember how.

 

I don’t want to be remembered as ‘pill popper.’

I don’t want to be remembered as ‘emotional.’

I don’t want to be remembered for my jealousy.

I want to forget it all.

 

I don’t want to be remembered the wrong I’ve done to him.

I don’t want to be remembered for the pain he put me through

I don’t want to be remembered for what you’ve seen.

I want you to always remember for what I can do.

 

I can make him mad any moment

I can get my heart broken any day.

But that not what I want to be remembered for.

But remember still, my birthday is the 24th of May.

 

I want to be remembered for the good things I do.

But not the bad things I’ve done.

I will not become ancient history.

But I will be remembered by some.

 

And I do not want that sum of people,

To remember me as mom, grandma, auntie, or that stupid fool,

I want to be remembered for who I am.

I want to them to remember me as that special girl.

 

I do not care if I am missed.

I do not care if I am always a Miss.

I don’t care if you’ve already forgotten my age.

I just want to be remembered as Riss.

Chasing Wind

 

Reaching for something that I’ll never obtain

This passion and devotion is nearly insane

To know that it’s there, yet just out of my reach

This feeling is just so bittersweet

 

Like wind, it is there, but unable to be caught

I am not unhinged, just a little distraught

For how can one live without a little obsession?

And why should it be kept under constant repression?

 

There is no logical way that I can capture my wind

For I have no net that I can cast it within

But that just might be the utmost joy of it all

The pursuit is the story, not the peak nor the fall

 

My wind is a flame that I’ll never embrace

Its shadows will forever frolic in my face

If I stretch out my hand to reach for that breeze

With a swoosh it’ll be gone, and time would freeze

 

If my wind could be caught, then it wouldn’t be chased

For that remarkable feeling cannot be replaced

Self-indulgence and strictly knowing my bound

I am searching for something that cannot be found

 

My wind is not a dream, for I am awake

This thought is as crazy as burning a lake

It is something of my conscious mind

Something quite sober, yet no logic behind

 

Do not try to dissuade me from my mani’c pursuit

I am drowned in this game, right down to the root

If I do not continue to carry on my run

My wind may be gone before tonight’s sun

 

Reaching for something I’ll never obtain

So maybe I’m not actually perfectly

But I’ll climb over whatever that comes in my route

And I’ll continue on my rewardless pursuit

 

Wind cannot be caught

 

But I’ll always be there to chase it

[Shadowed Heart]

Oh dear lord

Take care of my love

together for a liftime

together we'll be free

[Shadowed Heart]

[DarknessLover]

[DarknessLover]

Chasing Wind is such a deep poem, so many metaphors and everything! Just amazing!

 

Remember Me is so fun to read and intresting...

 

Bennington-Delson is short sweet and amazinglyto the point!

[MrsBennington-Delson]

oh thanks... O.o I really didn't accept that good feedback... but IMO it would be a bit unfair if I'd move one since I don't think mine is better than yours Riss and Jess...

[DarknessLover]

IT wasn't fantastic, but it was still short and sweet, not a hard long read.

[Shadowed Heart]

[DarknessLover]

I think this one is going to be a close call....
