Memories

I think I finally know something I had what seemed to last One false move and it was in the past I hoped for its thrill But believed in it. But now belief burns Off with the descent of the hill Which is life Starting to see some changes in everything At the time it was the only thing that mattered Then everything shattered But I move on slowly repairing, recovering changing developing Day in day out week after week With each passing year I mature But I’m also not so sure If in this something is not right If I went out of the frying pan into the fire Or if my life is soaring higher Was I right? Or have I plunged myself into a terrible plight Those memories are corrosive and are burdening me like a sack of weights I am chary to remember them but there is no escape Regardless I try, futilely I attempt, to forget But maybe that’s not the way its supposed to be Maybe im meant to cherish those moments lost in time

Justis, ,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Life can teetertooter, can't it? I liked the allusion to corrosion... the idea of acid-wear. Some memories burn that badly. Time does change perception. But you're right, some things cannot be forgotten. We all have wished at some point they could be. It can help to have something else to focus on and POETRY? Well, that is a good way to redirect thoughts, oddly enough even while writing of what is really bugging us. So... after all that... welcome to Soup! (PS.. reading also helps ;) )
