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.

This is great and very deep. I was wondering...is it the girl's parents that she's so afraid of? Anyways, great job!

This is definitely fantastic. The sadness is felt in every line but it's intense and it properly portrays the feelings of many people. Myself being one of them. Thank you for your beautiful work. It's truly amazing

WOW. VERY deep and impactful. Many people can connect to the feeling of wishing, wishing to forget something dreadful/awful. Or that evolution from "denial, excuses, acceptance, to 'where do I go now'?" Excellent job :)

5/5 It sounds like you were writing about me. And even though I'm 13, every single night I grab my 7 year old teddy bear, and cry wishing that some things never happened or that I can forget.
