Too clear, the Past’s memories
They chatter, whisper secrets
Will not stop their torment
Remind me there were no
Friends nor childhood play
(Laughter stifled, fearing fury)…
Oh how pitiful I sound, such
Melodramatic meandering
Thoughts–surely I exaggerate
Make much ado of nothing
More than imagined offences…
Perhaps most memories are
Murky, mired in muddy bogs–
But why would I deceive, use
Dreadful image to disguise
If I’d lived glittered fairy tale
Been someone’s treasured prize…
