False Memory

False memories of what the past used to be,
My memories of reality are just a mere formality.
False….
Never documented in my mind,
Ask anyone about my past and they repeat the same answer line for line,
Out of 999 only 1 gives the wrong answer….
And that person is I.
As life goes on; I am standing still in a false memory.
Seasons change….. Leaves change from green to gold,
Those memories stay vivid,
As reality decays and molds.
False Memories of my relationship,
In my memory it was all happy like the Bradys,
But in reality my relationship is kind of shady.
It’s crazy how dreams manifest,
Reality is put in the past because my false memories seem the best.
Sheltering myself from what I know is truly there,
I don’t want my life to be seen as is,
Exposed to the free air.
So I hide away in my false memory,
Knowing it is nothing but an illusion and imagery.

sometimes denial is a way of coping...
we do tend to remember things they way we wished they could have been.....not how they were, especially childhood memories.
well done verses of rhyme and introspect poet sir
