Lethe

And just like that, it's gone.

A moment flushed away in an instant.  An important need, a specific task: was it really done?  Medicines to support my health, and vital to how I feel, and I have to take them, but after a moment passes, I am left wondering: did I take those at all?  I can't just take another; it will just make me sick -- the directions say if I forget, to pass on today and continue tomorrow -- but what if I forget so often it becomes a problem? Some days, I don't remember at all.  Those little pill holders for each day of the week and apps to help you remember do absolutely nothing for me.  I still find a way to forget.  

This isn't the curse of old age or mental deterioration.  This is the curse of my life.  Even as a young man, I was forgetful, and nothing I do seems to help.

For chaos's sake, why can't I just be normal?
