Yes, she is still afraid,
trembling, weeping, rocking,
yes she is still afraid
sometimes fear paralyzes
her.

She does not remember
much, she will never remember
everything and
she must not remember the worst.
They say "you must"
She cannot, I will not allow her to.

The other night in her dreams she cried out
"Hey, Mister, see that star?
see that hope that’s shining far....."
and she began humming.

There was a far road back for that dream,
a very long peaceful way back to that dream,
because you see,
she was not always afraid
to dream, to speak and to share-

She was not always afraid to speak to strangers.

This is a very powerful poem. Hm, sorry, I'm not real good on the elucidating front. ^_^

Thank you for replying to this one.  I somehow don't even remember writing it! Guess that's called a muse or something like that....
