I Remember Poem by Adeosun Olamide

I remember,
Before you could see-
You said, my face was inside of me

I remember,
When you couldn’t hear-
My voice didn’t matter as my words

I remember still- the times,
This scars never clogged your pats
When I was rose not- a weed

I remember as I try to see through,
To see the stars not the darkness
To see the light not the fire

I remember as I try to hear faintly
The crescendo not the anger
To hear clang a necklet not chains

I remember as I do-, the lies
Hearing a brook not the flood-
The flood that comes to sweep my decay
