the worst enemy is memory

Memories are anchors

that drag one downward

often into a spiral of descending sadness

expressionless as it drags one down

through the murky depths

of memories best forgotten

Many are aware of my abusive childhood, so I have this built-in excuse for not following all the expectations when it comes to memories. I don't have to hold onto any of that junk, even the good junk, which lets me focus on the present moment. Especially as I grow older (63) I see so many friends who live in their memories (sad). I love it when a writer has the courage to write what's true, regardless of the social expectations surrounding things (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Memories are like the roots of a tree, tethering us to yesterday, as we navigate our tomorrows.
