Wishing for Amnesia MAG
April 7, 2008
Memories marred by the attempts to delete them,
She doesn’t know what really happened anymore.
The Incident becomes incidents become “it happens all the time.”
Now all she knows
Is that it happens all the time.
Denial becomes excuses becomes I’m sorrys and
“What do you want me to do?”
It’s too late. She’s already afraid.
Afraid to be pitied,
She clutches her teddy bear, swallows her tears
And allows them to read her a story.

What is your poem about? It seems to me to be about a violent incident and then having the coulrage to get your life going again. It was very interesting and maybe you should write a counter poem: like a person who has never felt hurt and therefore lags behind in emotional development. Good Job!

I really appreciate this poem. It expresses exactly the way I felt as a young child.
But your poem got under
My defences, my walls.
Such soulful heartache brings a slew of memories, not sure I wanted.
That is the power of voice :):
