So many times in life we are caused pain from an old memory tucked away. This pain stops us many times in moving forward and becoming all we can be.

Erasing Bad Memories

 

Erasing bad memories from your mind can only be done if you face them.

Bringing them into the light make them much clearer and not so grim.

Take each one and go through all the pain that this memory caused.

If you get stuck in a real dark place, don’t hit forward just hit pause.

 

Compose yourself a little, and then say a short prayer for bravery.

You will feel a great release instantly from your years in slavery.

Then hit start again and you’ll have renewed strength to get through.

No matter how bad, you’ll see them in a different light & a different hue.

 

Face them all with courage and conviction that this can be over-come.

If you open up your heart for love & forgiveness, it all can all be undone.

Put them back in the past where it belongs and don’t let it hurt you again.

You will see a great miracle happen and you'll witness your spirit mend.

 

Thank God for the blessings and move on to the next memory you had.

And before you realize what has happened, you’ll no longer feel so bad.

In fact, I can promise you that happiness will come shining through.

You won’t even recognize yourself for you will be better than new.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

Bad memories should have "cancellation dato" like milk, eggs, fish meat and lousy lovers...

Yes and as long as we learn from the events that caused such bad memories then we have a chance of averting them in the future...

A very serious poem, Bonnie, and it will work if people will simply put those old hurtful memories up on the objective table -- removing the drama and putting the memory into a less important context. Impossible, some will say, because they cannot get beyond the drama to the real event. Difficult, others will comment, because they really need that drama to "validate" their own pity-party. But, if they will try, they can do like you say, and they will emerge happier with themselves and pleased with their world. Nice work :-)

Seems ole Doc Bonnie is now going into psychology and with regards this, you do quite well...but for some, to even deal with past "mistakes" can be almost as painful as it was to "commit" those mistakes...e
