youth smiled thro’ tightened expressions
of amnesia;
made people wonder
what the accident did to him.
He had stopped digging into an unhappy past
every night
and emerging years older
in the morning
with no past to remember
he farmed fresh memories
every day

Sometimes it is the only way for forward to forget

Wish people would make conscious efforts to bury an unpleasant past.

Good insight Reena! Amnesia can be a blessing or a curse and sometimes, both! 😏
