Amnesia for Who I Once Was

Memories drifting away

Another chance squandered and crushed,

It feels as if the universe wants me to be hushed,

I refuse to let another opportunity escape,

Who am I?

Too tired to rest, yet I require it.

Why can’t this be the final time?

Flying round’ like a strung toy with a faint chime,

Constant daydreaming of where I want to be, to love;

Where do I belong?

Trying to let go but holding it all in.

Am I destined to fade, dissipate into the colored wind,

Shall I ever find that man within this mind?

The Devil robs me of strength--hissing in my ear;

What am I?

I am sleeping, though my memory is frolicking in meadows.
