-Forget-
Kindle your spirit,
stoke your drive,
forge your self,
build your mind.
But forget it all.
Live in the now,
not the then.
Love everything
and everyone.
But forget them.
What did I tell you?
Did you learn nothing?
The heart is feeble
as it remembers the old.
So remember to forget.
One grows remembering
ultimately regretting choices
of bygone days
and out-grown ways.
But we still must forget.
I forget, not by choice,
but by nature.
I live simply, or try to,
my mind still quarrels with itself.
I cannot forget.
We're all liars,
speakers with no voice.
The only difference
is the lie's relevance.
Forget words with no meaning.
Picture a face
that holds a name.
Forget it,
and be surprised at once.
Forgetting and learning.
Leave the old in the dust
the new out to shine
only to be forgotten,
eventually, in time.
Forget my words, not their relevance.
Author's Note: Okay, okay, don't bark at me too hard, dudes and dudettes. I wrote this in third hour reading for pleasure in place of reading, because one: I didn't feel like reading, and two: the teacher loves me and doesn't care if I do homework, read, write, or sleep in class.
I wrote this with the thought of my general forgetfulness in life, how hard it is sometimes for things to stick inside my brain. But, I sometimes take it as a mixed blessing. Sometimes, it's good to forget things until you need them. Others, it gets you in trouble. A lot. But I play it off, so I'm good.
Thanks for reading and enjoying (and hopefully reviewing!) and I hope you read more by me!
