Remember Me
Niamh was the kind of girl you never forget.
She wasn’t very “pretty”, according to society’s standards, nor was she good at anything in particular.
She did not have any talents (unless touching her nose with her tongue counts and doing a cloverleaf tongue).
Niamh was the type of person you’d see and maybe not even notice.
But once you talked to her, you’d never forget her.
She was the type of person who had a smile that you could always look at. Although her teeth were crooked and weren’t perfectly white, although she had acne on her skin. You’d never forget her.
Sometimes she wishes people would. She wishes she could disappear.
She figured that if no one remembers her, if the world didn’t know Niamh Williams, it’d like she never existed. If she left no trace, if she’s in no one’s memories. she’d be free.
She wouldn’t be tied to responsibilities. She wouldn’t have to carry the burden of a dark past.
She’d be no one, only who she wanted to be.
Perhaps she wouldn’t be tied to the past either. She’d be free.
But she was the type of person you’d never forget. With a certain glimmer in her eye (many failed to notice that it was sad).
She’s the type of person you’d remember.
“Hey! Niamh! It’s been a while, haven’t seen you since you graduated highschool. How’s it been?”
Remember me.
