Oblivion Is Disoriented

Keep the event, disconnect the pain

Fear is just a memory;
the remembrance of pain.
We try to forget the past,
struggling in vain.

Hurtful events the mind has put
in “…once upon a time” file,
can never be erased, and
we let them form present’s profile.

A teeny tiny reminder
is capable of break us down.
We live that experience again;
our now becomes a ghost town.

Τhe unbridled thymikon distorts
the reality of the present,
and we wish we could delete
that painful event.

Oblivion is disoriented;
we lead it in the wrong direction.
The problem isn’t exactly that fact,
but the emotional connection.

Being free from the past doesn’t mean
forgetting what happened.
It means remembering without being affected;
being untouchable and purely independent.
