POETRY | ‘MEMORIES’ BY ALEX WODZIANSKI

By Rishma Dhaliwal • On Poetry

Memor­ies

We all have them,

Some are pain­ful,

Oth­ers please,

It’s amaz­ing,

How they are stored,

With­in,

The logic­al,

But some­times,

The ration­al brain.

Memor­ies,

We all hold on to them,

For with a diverse,

Col­lec­tion,

They give us hope,

In times of dis­tress,

I should know,

For I have not,

Only lived,

But also suffered,

Life’s cruelty.

Memor­ies,

Can be evoc­at­ive,

And power­ful,

Drive us crazy,

Or make us stoic­al,

They add up,

To make a col­lage,

Of one’s indi­vidu­al,

Tour de force,

Without them,

We become,

A shad­ow of our former selves,

As can be seen,

With demen­tia,

Or Alzheimers,

If you ask me,

Such cruel ill­nesses,

Which effect the brain,

Cause fam­il­ies so much pain,

For the lights are on,

But no one is there,

The human form,

Sat in a chair,

In a sense,

Full of des­pair,

For the memor­ies,

Are no longer there.

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
