I want to commence fresh...

and forget this place,
the malevolent world I live in,
but not forget
how glorious and essential it was to me.

Forget the recollections
that make me impuissant and woeful,
but not forget
the recollections that are an anchor to my vigor.

Forget the people
who caused me pain,
but not forget
those who were with me in cumbersomely hefty rain.

Forget my past,
mistakes, and regrets,
but not forget
the edifications I learned from them.

Forget the days
when I cried silently, not aloud,
but not forget
the same days that make me vigorous.

Forget the old me,
find myself and explore,
and emerge and shine as never afore.

This is why
I want to commence fresh.
