Feelings, Thoughts and Strange Sensations

She walks slowly and silently down the road, face down toward the ground. She has feelings and thoughts, strange sensations, she cannot understand, but that no little child should have to bear. The strange sensations come at bedtime but she knows not why. As she grows older, it all stays with her, yet she has no memory, she can name no names, just feelings and thoughts and strange sensations, still, she knows not why, perhaps the naked truth, the pure and naked truth shall never be known, and one more silent victim, walks, face to the ground, down the road, Carrying the burden of feelings, thoughts and strange sensations.
