I Remember
I remember everything, from the violence of its beginning to the violence of its end,
I remember seeing, and being, without a ride from any friend,
I remember knowing, and sowing seeds, to bring forth fruits of experience,
I remember smoking weed, and driving through towns, delirious,
I remember mysterious things happening all around me,
I remember being astounded by all I see, and yet happy,
I remember feeling what it means to have a home,
For the first time in my life, in which I’ve been doomed to roam,
I remember the trips of the past bringing forth the present,
I remember presenting thought to others, like Christmas presents,
I remember seeing people see me, as though for the first time,
I remember how I felt a connection, to that which was sublime,
I remember detecting danger at every turn, and running wild,
I remember the heart that burned, the inescapable smiles,
I remember all the while I kept wondering, where does this go?
I remember my downfall, realizing that I reap what I sow.
