Write a poem that could have this as its title.
The Burden of Memory
Old memories that you wish to forget.
Times that were easier.
When you come home to a place that never felt like home.
Memories that continue to haunt you in life, even when your older.
People tell you to forgive and forget, but it's really never that easy.
They never know how hard it is to forget the abuse, the lies, the life you never wished for.
But once they live it, they finally realized why you could never forgive and forget.
They said sorry, over an over, but you can never really fully forget what they did to you.
This world is fucked up, but so are people and you will learn that in life.
