Willingness To Forget

Ready to forget,
burning every memory 
with this swollen wrath; 
if I took it to my grave
unrest would be my sure curse!

I wish I knew how to "forget," Andrew. It seems like memories of sad or stressful times play out in my head each night as I try to sleep. Is there any way to shake this "curse"? Excellent tanka! Love, Carolyn
