Remember

How can it be so easy to forget?
At the same time remembering it.
So little joy and so much pain,
Why does it have to be this way?
The bad makes us stronger thru times that are tough,
But sometimes that’s just never enough.
Why cant I recall, the better memories of them all?
I try to remember but I just hit a brick wall.
I want to remember everything,
You, my past, and all in between.
In a way it pains me to not even know,
My own life as it comes and goes.
Even by writing it, I still cant remember,
Though I read it again, some odd years later.
How did I stumble upon this memory loss?
Was it clumsiness, or did my head just fall off?
The bad makes us stronger thru times that are tough,
But sometimes that’s just never enough.
