forgotten

there are many things that we have forgotten. some by choice, others well . . . they slip into the part of your mind that instant access is not quite instant. forgotten past. forgotten mistakes. forgotten moments that lead to today's choices and ways. forgotten friendships. forgotten pains. forgotten laughs. forgotten loves we thought would never last. our mind holds all these "forgottens." ready to be faced if it need be. only we keep the key, locked away hidden. paths unknown. into a world we have dared not remember. and so all these forever stored in a place where deliberate effort is the only way to reach the forgotten zone.
