Does my quote make sense to you?

Question:I created this poetic quote for a book I'm planning to make for teen poets and some people said it made sense and others said it didn't. Please tell me the truth:

"I wish I were forgetable so people could remember to forget me. if they remember to forget me, they remember me...right?".

It may seem dumb at first glance but really look into it and see what I'm trying to say. Try not to be too brutal :]

It is not dumb everyone has a unique style if people think it is dumb well then just tell them to back off and move out of your way because you can do anything if you put your mind to it! because you will have people critisize and complement but dont take anything to hard on yourself because that is just life. I for one think it is good but try to simplify it a little and i will 1 for all read your book when it comes out! Good Luck! BLess You:-)!

I looked hard. If you are forgetable, you are forgetable and no one will remember because in reality you are always forgetable. If you want the truth, I just gave it to you. If you want a play on words which you like but it is not true, then keep your quote.

It sounds like you're trying to hard to sound cryptic, without actually being cryptic. It also sounds kind of desperate. But hey, it's your quote, it's representative of who YOU are, not who some guy on the internet thinks you are, right?

It's a paradox.
I remembered to forget you. Thus, i remembered you.
But i remembered to forget you. Thus, i forgot you.
But remembered to forget you. Thus, i remember you.
But i remembered to forget you. Thus, i forgot you.

Technically, it does not make sense. It is a paradox.

i got what you were saying, no difficulty. i don't think it's dumb at all. sounds kinda depressing for teens though.

i think i see what you are trying to say. but i have the same problem with that quote that i have with this one, "expect the unexpected." if you expect the unexpected, then doesn't it become the expected? just like your quote, if i remember to forget, don't i still forget you, and therefore forget that i remembered to forget you? since i forget everything about you?

not being brutal, just showing my thought process. oh, and generally, when i forget something, it's because it wasn't worth remembering. i don't think anyone really wants to be forgettable. even your quote, you want to be forgettable so that you are remembered.

yes, complete sence, like if someone was lookin back at their school yearbook they cudbe likeoh yea that girl was so boring i forget about her, but they still remember what u were like and how they forget u. i get it :]

that's really insightful. I interpret it as someone who tries so hard to go unnoticed that they actually stand out because they are unique. BTW, thanks for what you said about my poem!!!

i completely understood the first time! i liked it!
