At the age of 16 it’s said you lose a lot of your memories

At the age of 16 it’s said you lose a lot of your memories
Little things like your six year old
Birthday;
Or what it was like when your little
Brother or sister was born

You can’t get them back
and you can’t stop yourself from forgetting
they just fade;

into a mush like
your first meal of baby food
or
blocks of blurred time like the
alphabetical cubes you used to build with

but you wouldn’t remember;
Would you?
