Description:
This was inspired by a strange dream that I had wherein I was performing in the Shakespearean comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and from the time the performance began, until after the audience had been gone for several minutes, my memory was blank. I looked at the door and realized that I couldn't remember making either of my entrances through that door. Upon thinking a little more, I couldn't remember anything. I asked everybody in the theater about it, and they all said that it was the best it had ever been, and yet, I had no memory of it.
Any imput would be much appreciated, thoughts, ways to improve, ideas to incorporate. I may or may not use any advice given to me, but I will keep it in mind for the next poem I write. Thanks all.

Forgetting to Live
-------------------------------------------
The performance was perfect
The singing sublime
The diction was flawless
When I recited my rhymes
But something was missing
As I danced upon the stage
My heart, my soul
Was gone
It seems I forgot to live
Though nobody noticed
And nothing seemed wrong
My automaton responses
All seemed to love
But I don't remember
The interlude has already passed
And time has left me behind
I forgot to live
My memory is blank
I know nothing at all
My life has passed me by
I now rely on others
To tell me of my past
There really is nothing quite like
Forgetting to live |
