memories

Memories

what are memories?
are memories a collection?
of what we choose to remember?
and what we choose to forget?

are they fact? are they fiction?
did it really happen? or did we make it up?
memories of grandeur, of an amazing time
memories of better times
memories of horrible times

memories are our escape from reality
a mental happy place
memories remind us of our defeats
of our victories
memories bring back pain
to keep us on the right path
memories bring back our greatest losses
to keep us from failing

memories are what we make of them
memories are what we want them to be
to motivate us
to put us down
to pick us up
to push us forward and hold us back

memories will be the only thing truly yours
because even your heart will one day betray you
memories are loyal to you
even when their loyalty seems in question

the ones you thought would never fade
will slowly disappear
and the ones you want to forget will become more vivid 

But age will hold only those truly memorable moments
so live life while you're young
without remorse and without regret
without a care in the world
because when you're old 
you'll wish you had done a million things and more
