The Jar
of memories I will not visit
Like the stars in a galaxy
My happy memories shine brightly.
The moments of despair and darkness
I’ve imprisoned in a jar, sealed tightly.
I never want to remember.
My encounters with Science or numbers.
Or the days I lost Ma and Pa
And my dear friend Vibha.
The darkness of the day
When a certain diagnosis was made.
I hated the call.
That warned me of a financial squall.
Broken friendships
Trust turned to rust.
I hate them all.
As heavy as elephants
As dark as the night
These are memories.
I shall keep
Out of my light.
Nice one, Marietta. Yes, life is a mixture of the good and bad, so too the memories. It's only wise to bank on the good rather than the bad.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Bad memories tend to bring on depression, and hence it's best to visit them as rarely as possible.
DeleteSome events have to be forgotten. That's how life is!
