Why do we store away the traumatic events of our life? For some, they are just memories of past events. Others store their injuries and pain like treasures in the attic. They no longer have any useful purpose in life, but the lack of forgiveness keeps them alive and tender. It becomes our personal Pandora’s box that no one wants to open. We all know it will only be a review of past pain, that no one but a psychiatrist wants to hear. Time to clean out the attic and let go of things that continue to haunt us. Forgiveness doesn’t take away the memory or the hurt, but it takes away the necessity of reliving it over and over again.
Attics
Dwelling on collections of the past
Memories never moving for many years
Stuck, reliving events that won’t go away
Collecting dust of regrets
Stimulating coughs and sneezes
In anyone who dares stir
Attics for old treasures long remembered
For some, treasures of hurt and pain
Treasured to nurse pity and sorrow
Dusty old treasures of the mind
Blade twisting each time
Pandora’s box
Avoided by all
Only to be opened after death
Some better left for ashes
Very true
