The Experience Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The experience.
Done to come to one,
Kept remembered.
Is meant not to forget.
If it stays to remain,
Reminisced to visit.
Or should what has been experienced,
Be expected by another or others...
To have an apology accepted,
Quickly to not delay...
A forgiveness given,
From an experience...
Done to come to one with a lesson taught.
Occurring to happen without notice.
Or preparation for a test to pass.
To either receive the effectiveness of it.
Or...
Time one spends wondering why,
The experience done that comes...
Was meant and intended never to be forgotten.

'Hmmm.
Did I experience 'that',
To assist in building my character?
Or...
Remember when attempts were made,
To diminish my integrity? '

The experience of whatever it is,
Seldom leaves one dismissing it to forget.
Depending upon how it occurred to be inflicted.
Or...
Why would one come to ask to be forgiven,
When another can not remember...
The experience to forget.

'Hmmm.
Did I experience 'that',
To assist in building my character?
Or...
Should I have remembered,
When attempts were made...
To diminish my integrity?
I'm sorry.
Who are you?
And what is your name? Again! '
