    I just wrote this, it isn't something written for something specific (so there aren't many rhymes) It is just the sudden feeling I got. I get the feeling a lot, but it just hit hard right now.

    This all kills
    I am the forgotten
    So do a little dance and smile
    I see I am the only one affected
    A memory at best.

    Returning is hard.
    My status is removed, destroyed and spat on.
    Individualism is not present here
    So I wish to go home
    Where I am a memory at best.

    Sickness spreads like the wind
    I've been trying to hold on as best as I could
    If only you'd tell me what to do, I understood.
    I've been under the impression that I was nothing
    Stripped down to the mere thought.
    Could I change myself?
    Become more than a memory.

    Outstretched, reaching for something, please give me something.
    Your words, those daggers of truth.
    It fuckin kills me.
    A memory at best, I can't breathe.

    Was I the silver lining for us?
    Did I hold us together?
    I feel sick, like my heart is locked away.
    Someday I will be better.
    Someday I will be more than a memory.
    I'm coming home.

    You do a great job of tying together each stanza with the references to memories at the end of each.

    I could see this being presented as a spoken word piece. I like it.
