Guthrie Memorial Teen Writer's Club
The Guthrie Memorial Library Round Table Writers, so named for the table in our meeting room, have been sharing ideas and stories since November, 2010. We have been visited by Hanover Poet Laureates past and present, and we welcome any opportunity to learn more about the art of writing.

Forgotten

How easily it is to be forgotten
How hard it is to forget
All the memories that mean so much to me
Fade to nothing in your mind
If you could read my mind,
You would see the pain you cause
You would see the dreams you crushed
The hopes you shattered
You were the one I always leaned on
Now I’m falling over every time I try to stand
You hold out your hand
But as I reach for it you pull away
you’ve forgotten me,
I’m nothing but a fading memory
While I count the days I have left with you
This false friendship is tearing me apart
But I’d rather die than turn away
I count the days left with you
Both dreading and hoping for
The freedom they’ll bring
Can I stand without you?
Am I strong enough to survive you?
Will I be able to forget you,
Like you’ve forgotten me?
