I don't remember
So long the years have passed
How many I know not
I don't remember
What led up to the event?
Painful hide-and-seek
I don't remember
God, how many years has it been?
How much time has past?
I don't remember
Nobody will believe me
It sounds so very fake
I don't remember
Is my head protecting me?
Memories escape
I don't remember
What did happen in those years?
Such a long time frame.

- Comment from author about the poem: Classic 5-7-5. Why God, must I be forced to remember all the painful moments but forget important details? God, it makes me feel so crazy. I don't even remember what age I was. Somewhere between 9-11 I think. God, why do you do this to me? Why can't I remember?

It's a protective measure. What you'll be horrified to learn later is how memories which now are inaccessible will be triggered to rear their heads when you least expect it. Or so I've experienced. Excellently rendered with great imagery and a deadly poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Hang in there.
I'm so angry, it makes my story seem incredible...I've heard it's a trauma thing but my can it be frustrating. Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem, it's very nice of you, thank you.
