Sometimes the past is so dark, full of bad memories,
You hope you can forget it, and move on.
So do others, they say, move on, let go of what happened.

But how do we understand the present,
If we have no idea of what the past is,
Of how it has shaped who we are, where we have come, what we have come to be.

If we forget who we were,
And only remember who we are now,
Or who we want to be.

Can we afford to forget who we were, or how the past was?
