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.

The first stanza was my favorite. I think you both started and ended the poem well.

This is very good. I love how you used parallelism with the way you started your stanzas. Maybe there is a better title that incorporates more of your actual poem. A phrase from the last stanza could be a great title.
