Forgettable
I’m tempted to change my whole mentality,
To make sure you’ll never be able to forget me,
‘Cause the Devil wishes to be remembered through evil,
And it seems to me being good to folks is just forgettable.

boo !
the smell of ice
and vampire bites
thrill is in the air
fright night –
flashing sights ,
blurred lights &
candy so bright .
the scare of a clown
when no one's around ,
terror abounds
in cul-de-sacs of sound .
run run run

oh my God !
never mind , just a Grim Reaper .
& at 3 a.m. , when
the cycles begin again —

got more to say
than what comes to mind.
what messes we make,
laid outside in winter. we
share our dinner with the
skinny wolf and
spring bites at our heels.
what doesn’t kill me today
will teach you a softer story.
to live through winter
is a prize all on its own.

I don't have a good description for this 'cept I'm tired of being forgotten or ignored.
I'm just talkin'. Like I always do. Just like I'll always be alright.

This piece really made me think. It seems as though people who do bad things are often remembered more than those who do good. But remember, Ricky, in the end nobody likes the bad guy. People who are true, kind and thoughtful are remembered, and are truly not forgettable.
