Forget Poem by Nina Dringo

Scientists say
That we only use ten percent of our brain
That all of our memories
Are stored inside
We just need to access them.

If that is true
Then how can things
Get better with time?
How can we
Forgive and forget?
How is it possible
To get over our anger
If we remember every instant of it?

It may seem
Like you want to stop forgetting things
Trust me
I know.
But if we remembered
Everything
We would be angry forever
And never take chances

Isn't it better
To stand up and fall
Than to live on your knees?
