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.

I am a sucker for children's books, and the teddy bear line made me very happy :D I also enjoyed the repetition (become/becomes, afraid, happens...).

its like, memories mingle with reality and then pretty soon you're so overwhelmed with what's happening, the only thing you can really do is try and ride along with the waves coming at you.
nicely done. i love how at the end she clutches her teddy bear, its like a sign of vulnerability.
love it.

it means that she's been through too much! she is in so much emotional and maybe physical pain that she cant hide it anymore and that cause her to look like she needs help. she does need help but she doesnt want people to pity her. she doesn't want people to feel sorry for her. so she tells people her stories. she opens up to someone, she reveals who she really is so that someone can help her and not just say... "oh what a poor girl".
at least i think this is what it means. Any body agree?
