“Do you really think you’re that good of a person or are you just scared? Afraid?”
Scared? I’m not scared.
Afraid? Afraid of what?
That I’ll lose what you gave me? That I’ll lose the feelings you gave me?
You hurt me.
Don’t turn this on me, don’t make it sound like I’m attached, or obsessed.
I’m simply hurt.
Give me closure and it’s the last thing you’ll give me.
Scared? Afraid?
You really think so little of me.
I’m not afraid.

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

Hey guys! I’m thinking of publishing a book on here chapter by chapter. Let me know what you guys think of that. <3
Empowering. Feels like the character is standing up for being gaslit. Well written poem.
