Why Can’t I Remember?

Anger. Pouring Out.

Doors opened.

Pain released.

So much fear.

She is rocking. Hands on her ears.

Yelling “make it go away. I want it to be over.”

Shushhh little one, I’m here with you. I will not leave you.

She calms, but remains unsettled.

So many doors opening.

Paths unknown.

Isn’t this supposed to be the past?

Aren’t memories stored in the body?

Why can’t I remember?

My body reacts. It knows. She knows.

Yet I don’t know.

Aren’t we one in the same?

Waves of emotion.

Turmoil. Fear. So much fear.

Why can’t I remember?
