#being remembered

[writerabigailcooper]

"humans yearn to be remembered."

paintings of hands lining cave walls words of wisdom carved into stone chiseled marble scarred tree trunks

video recordings kodak and polaroid magazine quizzes marked in full books of many kinds names written in the front a note to those who follow "please remember me" "know that i was here"

post-it notes of old sharpie in bathroom stalls letters on parchment painted pottery fingerprints in the sand hands against concrete footsteps against earth

journals and novels and poems each giving voice to those who want to be heard

paintings of hands lining cave walls remnants of us humanity as a whole no matter how many years pass on by

we yearn for it to be remembered to be known to be here to be to be to be.

Will anyone recall my name

As the clock bells toll their tune

Or will I be in forgotten scenes

My memory lost to ruin

I want to be remembered

When time has taken its lasting toll

When I am nothing but a shell

Resting in a shallow hole

I hope at least one single soul

Loves me sufficiently

That when the reaper ends my time

My story becomes lasting imagery

Do you ever see, listen to something that gives you goosebumps? And do you ever realize you will never be able to make someone feel that same way?

I will never sing something that makes people cry or makes everyone sing as one voice. I will never draw something that can speak to anyone. I will never recite or act something that can give goosebumps. I will never write a line that will be famous forever.

Do you ever realize that you will never be remembered like this? Like something that reached people's hearts? Because I do, and it destroys me every time.

As for being remembered... History isn't ours to write... None of us know how we'll be remembered by scholars a hundred years from now. But be assured that those who know you, who have worked with you, and who respect you will hold your memory close. Everyone else... Does it really matter?
