Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

I Choose

At times our SUBCONSCIOUS
holds memories we wish that had been
It can CONTORT the truth 
as it can ATTACH a happy
SIGNATURE to our very 
thoughts while forgetting 
the CORROSION of the bad  
it will SEAL a new memory 
into our mind
Instead of being pushed away we 
may view being CUDDLED
You do not have to be CONFUSED
to cast out the bad memories 
it may SURPRISE you 
as it does me 
You see I ALIGN myself 
with the good 
I cast out all that hurt
making memories more pleasurable 
and life a lot less stressed
