Chains of Memory

I want memory I can rely upon,

Moments that last within me long.

Not limited to my text on paper,

But in my mind, not stored in data.

I yearn for the time of old ways,

Which in hindsight feel like brighter days.

Now memory's a fickle thing,

Its fragments take to flight with wing.

But that's all been changed by Memorize,

A company I indeed despise.

One day they'll seize my memories,

And scatter it through the air like leaves.

But for now my mind is mine alone,

Memories call my brain their home.

I'll keep them, both the good and the bad,

And for all those times I am quite glad.

So my mind's my fortress, one day shall fall,

But my mind still mans the castle wall.

The present's mine, as is my past,

And as long as possible, it shall last.
