Poem 9. NO RETRIEVAL

I have lost my memory about that place.

I cannot remember anything.

Good? Bad? I just can’t recall even a single word.

 

I wake up one day that I am numb of everything. I cannot feel neither pain nor joy. Yes, I am numb.

 

I believe it’s the second chance given to me.

I am now again taking my journey back into that place.

Do I have to retrieve all the memories?

A part of me is saying “Yes” but the voice that says “No”

Is louder.

 

Then retrieval is not essential. I have to live like a

Newborn- a new creation. Past memories must

Be gone. I have to live with my new life…

As a new individual. And with this chance, I am going to

Live differently from the past.

A dawn of reinvention, a rebirth of the spirit. Sometimes it is necessary to cast off the old memories that weigh us down, so we can go lightly forward. Well done!

We all need that second chance. That new moment of awakening . The new embrace of ourselves and life. Grasp a new light and a new future. You have retrieved yourself in this great poem...:)
