How many times
Have you forgotten
A name
Your keys
Your to-do list
A birthday
And then kicked yourself
Exasperated
Because you forgot
Well, think of it
If you never forgot
Always remembered
Always vivid
Everything you did
All the pain
All the anger
All the vicious words
Others have said
Raw emotions
Flowing tears?
Forgetfulness, a blessing
On this earth.
I would prefer to forget and I do forget. Hei can't remember all these? Would die...tis good to forget.
ReplyDeleteSelective memory works wonders too! You can intentionally repress the memory of the unpleasant experience... ah, life!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the 'panel'. Forgetfulness is bliss, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCrisp, Kwegyirba!
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you I love the way you write?
Hmmm forgetfulness...is one of the healing ways of life.
But I firmly believe that forgetfulness is mostly a choice though. I forget because I choose to forget.
The point is, what good is there in remembering moments of pain and shame anyway?
On the other hand, woe is the man that forgets the dates and anniversaries of his partner.
@Nana F, yes, 'tis good to forget!
ReplyDelete@Maxine, selective repressed memory however has a sneaky way of creeping up on you though.
@Nana Y, bliss it is.
@Posekyere, thanks you. Yeah, if you forget the birthday, you are in for trouble. I will only forgive if he also forgot his own birthday too.:-)
