GRIEF Poem: Forgetful, by Alesha Siddiqui

They said don’t suppress your emotions
It causes your memory to render
Or I think that was what they said,
I can’t really remember
She was speaking,
but I had an airpod in
I was feeling,
but my music was blasting
I think we fought last night
I don’t remember what was said
Maybe it was the day before,
but I left that all behind in bed
I scrolled and slept it off
Did I put that coin in that jar?
Anyways, I feel good now
Is that a new scar?
Actually now that I think about it
Hold on, this is my favorite song
Anyways, I don’t remember why I was crying,
but I don’t think about it for long
No point in pondering over the past
It’s better to just move on
I was sobbing last night
My pillow has water marks
I have a test first period,
but something’s weighing on my heart
It gets heavier every day,
like my memory is in debt
I swear I meant to search it up
I just tend to forget
