Forgotten

I've forgotten

How to sing

Like wolves howling to the moon

And pretend that everyone's cheering wildly

I've forgotten

How to run

Like stallions galloping on plains

And pretend that sharp corners don't hurt

I've forgotten

How to yell

Like barbarians battling in deserted lands

And pretend that powers emit from the single yell

I've forgotten

How to cry

Like banshees crying for their coyotes

And pretend Mommy's always there to hug and kiss

I've forgotten

I left it back

Now it's lost, with all the other things

I've taken for granted

Some things aren't missed till you're looking

Some things aren't what they look like

We had all wanted to grow up

Only till we'd forgotten that we remembered

How we used to be alive with innocence

Grown ups were supposedly brave and wise

Why are they afraid to be true to themselves?

Is it because we've forgotten

What 'true' was supposed to be?

I'd forgotten my childhood

And now I've forgotten myself
