Not Worthy of Remembrance

My mind plays tricks on me
Melting memories together
In the molds of my plots

Developed over the years,
These narratives of delusion
Mend my shattered recollections

My mind deemed most of my life
not worthy of remembrance
Except for some scars and tears

I remember the stories,
Told a million times,
But not the moments.
Those vanished forever.

Then, a scent fills the air
And a song plays on the radio
All that I felt comes back to me,
As if I’d never left that moment to begin with.
