Forget!
Focus Forward
Everything is ahead!
Therefore forget
to remember the particulars of a past yesterday when…
Yes — forget all of it
Because the things to come will certainly
Outlast the sting of the thing gone
Outshine the lackluster of the lull and
Outlive the pronounced dead on arrival

Forget the wrongdoing, forget the false promise
Honey, focus on forgetting
All they said
The lies, the truth and the stories in between
There will always be words,
do not collect them nor wear them
And as you successfully fail to remember!
Grieve the loss of your expectation
to move on
Let go of what you anticipated — it was never yours anyway
Forget the doubt that would kidnap your ambition
Forget the disappointment that would vandalize your inspiration
You must look forward again
Cause every storm cloud runs out of rain; put the umbrella away
Remember, peace always, is still in you
Joy always, is within you
Let His presence orbit your mind and
His covering steady your heart
Forget what you wanted
Agree to agree
Let your soul say yes to what is truly yours
