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 like what you are getting at. The meaning is their and good, but grrr, there is no flow. At every quote I had to start reading it from the beginning again because I did not know HOW to read it. There is a special way to read a specific poem and I could not read yours.

Wow. You have some really deep thoughts in here. I love the progression. There is something that bugs me about this ... but I can't seem to put my finger on it right now. I will read through again later and possibly re-comment. But I really like this alot.
