Memories are pictures dwelling in your mind
visions that have been etched into your brain
people and places affect you throughout life
some can be truly frighten or cause you pain
Life's bad memories are never truly forgotten
yet can be tucked away so you don't feel
now and then appearing without warning
as your mind plays tricks and they seem real
Memories can only hurt you if you let them
remember they are the past not here anymore
they are thoughts of a time past in your life
only snapshots of life in a time lived before
Many times they are best tucked away forever
sometimes giving you the courage to be strong
memories can leave you feeling lost and lonely
and the feeling that somehow you don't belong
Replace the bad ones with some that are good
don't make the same mistakes as in your past
create good memories to fill your troubled mind
for happy memories allow the happiness to last

keep smiling and shining
brilliant, fantastic and sophisticated approach.. i liked it very much. Only one thing i would like to say without hearting anyone that its not in out hands to have good memories or bad memories, but which way we want to remember the memories only
thats under our control. i always remember my love life as a beautiful experience i had not as a failed relationship which i not able to sustain. -
