Thoughts...

Memories and emotions...can they affect us?

Bittersweet are those memories
We keep to ourselves,
Rather than share them with the world.
By bottling up those memories,
We essentially keep in our emotions,
And before we realize it,
We're filled to the core
With these hidden memories,
And pent-up emotion
That we ultimately explode
In strange ways.

Instead of blowing-up
Wouldn't it be better
If we open up more
And keep ourselves less susceptible
To external forces
By sharing these memories
With someone- friends, family, soul-mates_
Anyone who matters to us?

But not everything is as simple as it seems.
This may be easy for some,
But for others, it becomes difficult-
A lot more difficult
Especially with years of
Collected memories
And fond remembrances.
This is why its better
To talk to someone from a young age
And confide more
In someone you trust.

But I find it difficult.
