I try not to remember
those nights
when I begged for the sun to rise

to save me from what seemed to be
an eternal battle of darkness

not shedding a bit of the light hope
I cried for

I try not to remember
those mornings
where I wished the day

would just evaporate
into the mocking sunshine

that revealed
my aggrivated state of mind

I try...
I try...
I try...

that's all I can do
Simply try--

Not to remember
