Collecting Your Memories

In life it seems sometimes

There are cross overs between our present and our pasts.

We do what we have to just to make it through.

When there is doubt or fear, or even pain that’s when,

Looking for some comfort, closure, or something else

We  go back to where we once was in another time or place in our lives.

Either remembering the feelings, thoughts, or something

Taking comfort from them  and what they remind us of

It’s crazy but yet we do.

For us to move on we collect our memories

Before we can move on ahead or just get through.

Often blinded, we are by the once before

The “what abouts”

Too much of that can shade our todays.

But if you have to or just because…

Then go ahead

Collect those memories from your head

Perhaps,  even expressing those feelings the best ways you can.

Like you could write them down by hand,

Make a mental note for yourself

Just don’t linger too long or take up residence there,

So you can finish your task at hand or to just keep living.
