The Erased One Poem by Dillon Gay

The Erased One



Why can't they remember me?
They've known me all my life you see
Every person I have ever known
Has seemed to buried me like a dog with a bone

One day after a long sleep
I woke up to my family who's memories I still keep
They ran me out and called the police
I tried to tell them, but they rejected me and would not cease

Does anyone remember me at all?
Maybe even the clerk I see all the time in the mall
An universal amnesia as affected all of them
Wow! My story could be made into a film

Unlike a film, however, this story has no happy ending
Day by day, my existence is evermore bending
I write this story with great sorrow
Hoping you will remember me tomorrow
