Help, I need to remember
A memory frozen, unchosen
Help, am I just a pretender?
A memory now lost, at what cost?

Every time I look it triggers,
The thought it sniggers,
The mind it flickers,

Can't hide from the snickers,
Does everyone hate me?

When I reach out for attention,
A haunting mention,
Unbearable tension,

Losing to my dark pretension,
Does everyone hate me?

Help, I need to remember
A memory frozen, unchosen
Help, am I just a pretender?
A memory now lost, at what cost?

On this mountain that I've begun to travel,
My mind to unravel,
Slips through like gravel,

And when they decide to slam the gavel,
Am I lost to eternity?

Help, I need to remember
A memory frozen, unchosen
Help, am I just a pretender?
A memory now lost, at what cost?
