Analysis of Trials And Tribulations
As fast as the water's flow
under a bridge,
memories fade away.
Good memories seem to fade
Into the distance,
whilst bad memories,
we are constantly reminded
of and they have a stubbornness,
to stay.
It is a fact, that if we do something
good,
it is rewarded by pleasing and gladness.
The moment we do something that is
considered not good,
that one thing is remembered,
cancelling out all of the good
and leaving a stain of
badness.
We can do little about it,
to try and forget,
as there are those that
delight in misfortune
and upset.
I say, live and let live.
Leave well alone,
the mention of past
bad.
You, I or anyone else,
for that matter,
are not infallible
and whilst there is a
battle of good and bad
memories,
one should be able to forgive.
