Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden of Memory

When I was on the playground

Swinging on that swing

Sliding on that slide

I still remember


When I was on stage

Singing that song I was singing

Acting on that stage I was acting

I still remember


When I was at that arcade

Playing games I was playing

Listening to old music I was listening

I still remember


When I was at a park

Walking my dog while I was walking

Breathing in air I was breathing

I still remember


When I was at church

Praying to what I was praying

Reciting what I was reciting

I still remember


When I was on a car ride

Crashed cars to the side, left crashed

Injured people struggling as they were injured

I still remember


When I was at school

Bullied people left vulnerable from getting bullied

Controlling people always controlling

I still remember


When I was at the hospital

Dying people slowly dying

Hurting people, sitting there hurting

I still remember


When I was there

Dealing with these things I was dealing

Seeing these things I was seeing

I still remember
