Forgiving or Forgetting

I see soft colors all around
shaped like squares
occasionally overlapping each other.
I wonder if it's possible to move on
to not let the past fill our minds.

We can fill our minds with positivity
but the doubts and past experiences still lurk. 
We can't quite let go 
as much as we try.

Forgiving and forgetting isn't as easy as it seems
even when you think with so much positivity.
But maybe forgetting isn't the key
it's forgiving that will set our minds free. 

One thought on “Forgiving or Forgetting

  1. What a thoughtful poem! I often have these same thoughts myself. Many times I realize it’s ME I need to forgive – that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself for little mistakes of the past.
