Erased Memories

He gazed over the sea.
Standing on a box to make himself feel as big
and as bold as the massive body of water before him.
"One day, I will sail the waters with as much skill
and bravery as the waves that taunt me so."
But it was not to be so;
for the very next day he was swept away into the world of the rich.
Of course, he would prefer to stay by the water.
Unfortunately for him though, his parents cared but a smidgen about His dreams.
So it was that after years of being shoved this way and that,
he had all but forgotten that there was even such thing as the Outdoors.
It's not that he became like the others,
just that he detested them,
and loved the sea so,
that his mind could not deal with the idear of being kept from that which he loved.
So it did away with his knowledge of it,
without even approaching him first.
I'm sure if he ever learned of his minds doing,
it would be in for a very long and lengthy talk.
But that, is entirely impossible.
