The Optimistic Pessimist

The more we try to forget something... The more we remember it. Every time we think of forgetting a memory first we think of that memory. It becomes very difficult to forget it. But the fact is it eventually fades away. Every memory slowly dies. Had read somewhere once that every time we remember or recall a moment or a memory, a part of it gets erased. And slowly those memories start dying off. A certain percent of it vanishes from our memory. Everytime we remember a little less of it. Eventually it dies. It's not about a good memory or a bad memory. They all die... All of it vanishes... Just it takes its own time. So instead of trying to forget something try to remember it... There will be a day when you will no longer be able to recall it...

 Waking up to the sounds of grunting Having heard those for almost a year Yet feel estranged to that buzz Looking at the side to a face In a complete alienated state Familiar yet so unfamiliar mold Ever wondering if something changed Half naked carcasses side by side All seeming to be as grisly Perhaps not that bad a dream Presumably to have attained through End of that so very beautiful spec Never still adept enough to descry Sudden flexion of reveries to salty water
