Good With the Bad Great Memory

Good with the bad
(Great memory)
By Michelle Morris

Having a great memory
Is a blessing and a curse
You can remember so much more
Than most people in the Universe

But as impressive as that may be
The downside is the warning
You can never forget a thing
All that harm, conflict and trauma

It is a blessing to remember
For yourself and many others
But there are times you want to forget
And you can't seem to avoid it

So, never be envious
Of any talents that others have
Remember that they have to take
All the good with the bad

Sadly, this is why so many people are in therapy "But there are times you want to forget And you can't seem to avoid it" - they need to give themselves the grace of forgetting.
