The Art of Forgetting

an act of the mind

By Jacob GloryPublished about a year ago 1 min read

To forget is not just an act of the mind

It's an art, a craft, a skill refined

To let go of what we cannot find

And move on, leaving memories behind

Forgetting is not just about erasing

It's about releasing, and unchasing

The ghosts of yesterday that keep pacing

In our minds, our hearts, and our souls embracing

The art of forgetting is a bittersweet task

It's about shedding the weight of the past

And letting go of what we cannot grasp

To find peace, and breathe in, at last

The memories that linger, they hold us back

In a cycle of pain, of tears, and lack

But forgetting is the key to break the track

And move on, to a future bright and intact

So embrace the art of forgetting, my dear

Let go of what holds you in fear

And step forward, without a tear

To a life that's worth living, year after year.
