Unless Someone Pushes Me

A Sonnet

I told you to have a good day at school,
you said you would unless someone pushed you,
and I said simply tell teacher the truth,
you frowned and said that snitching wasn’t cool.
I have felt like that every single day
with Atlas great weight forced upon my back
lost in your mem’ry until all goes black,
that’s how I have felt since you went away.
Like someone was pushing me up and down
like a battered joystick in your arcade
oh, anything for these mem’ries to fade,
I seek to lose, lost, never to be found,
	only now I can understand fully
	bitter mem’ry is a playground bully.
