Secret To Remember Poem by Maria Sudibyo

The pain would be evident
When you remember something you should not remember
The shame would be more burning
When something embarrassing appears in the mind
The bittersweet memory you could not tell to anyone
The horror of nightmare nobody realizes its presence
It should be vanished with the time
It should be bearable to carry on
The truth left only me who holding the key
The past thrown to be drowned into the sea
It still frightening but can not destroy me
It still mocking but can not stop me
To protect it from being revealed
To cover it with all I might
It still haunting but can not touch me
It still disturbing but can not break me
No matter what the cost
No matter many things will be lost
I will not forget
But I will keep it from being opened again
