Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden of Memory

The burden of memory is that it’s a fickle thing, you remember in morning but by evening forget everything.


You’re stuck in a cycle of remembering and then not, your brain erasing what it thinks is the rot.


But brains don’t know what’s useful and what’s not.


Sometimes they get it wrong and you’re in a tough spot.


When it gets to the point you forget after seconds, you learn to regret not making the most of your life.


Make each day a memory so your memory may survive.
