The Elephant

My mind hoards memories,
Events tumble out in big fat paragraphs and not mere summaries,

The good, the bad, the evil,
My mind's an angel and a devil,

I forget nothing,
I feel everything,

Is this a blessing or a curse,
To live in reverse,

I hold onto people and things,
Like they're precious stone filled rings,

Unable to truly move on,
I cling on,

To moments in time,
They stick to my mind like slime,

Gooey and difficult to scratch away,
But fling them I must and live in the today,

Nothing and no-one is dependable,
Self reliance is the answer, throw those memories away, they are expendable.
