Memory from Stronger by novvaa

The first thing I remember is
Riding on the back of my mom's bike
Hard yellow plastic
Pressing firm against the soft side of my thigh

She was younger then than I am now,
But I know it happened anyhow
Other times I can't recall
It's for the best, after all.

Daddy got so angry
He punched a hole through the kitchen wall
He pushed the table over
I sat and watched our meager dinner fall

He was younger then than I am now,
But I know it happened anyhow
Other times I can't recall
It's for the best, after all.

Sometimes I close my eyes,
Try to think of any memory
Was it a dream I had, a book I read,
A movie, play, or something on TV

I once watched or heard about
Or something real that I lived out?
At this point I'll never know
The truths I lived so long ago
