remember

you need me
to remind you
that all is not forgotten
that some wounds just don't heal
and that some scars run far deeper under the suface
you need me
to remind you
that happiness is not always a choice
that sorrow sometimes cannot be avoided
and sometimes there is no place to hide
you need me
to remind you
that our minds are not always ours
that our thoughts are not always chosen
and that this life is not always what we make of it
you need me
to remind you
that some of us smile and fake it
that some of us are broken inside
that some things cannot be repaired
you need me
to remind you
that I am still here
but I am not here
and someday you will remember
