Let what is dead, remain dead.
Allow your memories to decompose.
Do not look for the monsters under your bed.
Keep your closet door safely closed.
Leave your ghosts to the noise of the past.
Give them their silence, their invisibility.
No horror experienced is meant to last,
And In resilience lies your invincibility.
Empty out your heart, and clear your head.
Be hopeful you have a soul left to save.
Let unspoken words remain unsaid.
You visit the headstone, not dig up the grave.
Explore every nook and hidden space
of humanity's horrors and hidden dangers.
Give evil no harbor, grant it no safe place,
For we all live in a world of strangers.
Exorcise your demons and lay bare your lust.
Do what you mean to do while you're alive,
For life is a funeral and we're all just
waiting for the pall bearers to arrive.

Corjixover 5 years agoYou must have lived with some past pain to have been able to express it and the desire to move on so clearly. I too have reached your poetic conclusions. My own reality is now taken up with the burning desire to act upon what I have learned. Just forget and move on? Tell me how.
