Events that leave an indelible stain
On the temporal lobe of my brain
Over time they tend to morph
Pleasant memories seem to dwarf
Memories that are too painful to bear-
My memory bank is never fair
It indulges in this clever artifice
For joyous moments it displays avarice
The good it tends to magnify manifold
The bad it tucks away in remote folds
My deviant memory can thus ensure
That burdens of past I can endure
Focus on the present, for future hope.
Not dwell on past errors’ slippery slope
Passion...unbridled
