Dreaming of Amnesia
I'd like to wipe the slate clean.
To start over with no knowledge of
Past or present and in the process
Loose the thoughts and worries that
Plauge me now. Most likely only to
Gain an entire new set, but I could
Live with that. There's not much to
Forget and not much worth keeping.
I'm not asking for a second chance
Or a mulligan on life just a blank
Brain to begin with again. If there
Was a pill or potion that washed
The memories away, there'd be little
Debate before I took it. Maybe I'd
Change or maybe not either way I
Wouldn't know and I guess that's
What I'm after.
Meditate. It happens. ....

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
Impressions.
Do you not think that a blank sheet of paper is very dull to look at?
You can create many things from the fingerprints already collected there.
It is our very own unique characteristics that make us diverse.
Would you change as the person you are now to become someone different?
I don't know, but I do believe that you would of done things differently..
Just as I wish sometimes that I could alter things, but in the end we realize that we can't, and we learn from past mistakes so it will not affect our future.
I agree with this though,
I mean who wouldn't want a tabula rasa?

Wow! This poem really stood
Wow! This poem really stood out to me. I'm currently getting tests done to see if I was lucky enough to carry on my mums Epilepsy. She can't get surgery because its too risky due to her other health problems, but the epilepsy is located in the memory part of her brain. So if she was to get the surgery or if I needed it there's a very high risk of losing our memories. My sister asked me my attitude on the surgery and I had a very similar one to this!
Best of luck to you no matter
Best of luck to you no matter what you decide. Glad you could relate to my poem.
Long days and pleasant nights

Let's Do It Again
Erase the slate and forget this - not me - I'd do it all the same, keep all the crud and cake and sludge and laughter. We are what we were - we can change, we can redefine ourselves each year (I used ot do that - ha!) but a do-over - too much work. Good write and wish inside the impossible. Death will erase us and all we are eventually :D slc
