How hard is it?

How hard is it?
To forget the past,
Even more so when you want to forget.

You tell yourself over and over,
Don't remember,
Forget forget.

Although all your efforts,
Go down the drain.
You do the exact opposite,
And become completely ludicrous.

So how do you move on?
Well you have to do one thing.
The very thing you don't want to.
You remember,
But this time willingly.

It all sounds bizarre.
It doesn't make sense.
But maybe that's the key,
For it to be senseless.

How hard is it?
To forget the past.
Although what many may not notice,
You're not supposed to forget.
