If you haven't noticed, i like writing poems inspired by songs (especially in musicals) so here's one inspired by Aftershocks from Next To Normal (My new favorite song in it) This poem can possibly trigger a lot of people so I'd say it's like 12+ maybe? TW: Implied death, grief, mourning, sadness in general I’m gone Gone forever I live in your memory Yet you can't say my name What is it Why not WHY I no longer live on You dream But you don’t know me You can see me I’m invisible I’m not here I’m here I’m here No I’m not I’M NOT HERE I was nothing to remember Please Why Why Why don’t you know I’m here Why aren’t I here Why not WHY I never was anything Never Who created this illusion It hurt me too I would be the one singing this You You wouldn’t cry Neither would they They don’t know But I do I always do And I’m nothing There’s nothing to remember I’m not a memory I wasn’t anything And I’m still not But I’ll return You can’t get rid of me None of you It’s an old game And I can play too well I’ll live on Because I’m nothing Because there’s nothing to remember Because… Because I’m gone forever And I Live on You know me You know who I am You do You do ... Why don’t you know who I am? Please I'm nothing WHY
