We stared, beaming ahead
Mannequins framed in
a colour-dazzled world
Young and fearless,
We stood confidently,
the world at our feet,
with hardly any apprehension

Calloused and disillusioned,
I now yearn
to jump
into the photo
and reside permanently
as its lead character

*special thanx to debbie for the idea of looking at a photo and writing whatever comes to your mind*

Kaile; Ah, but what about the wisdom gained, and all the memories and friends since found. Count the loses, and decide again! Your writing is superb, as usual. I thank you as well, for your sincere replies to my poetry. Ellie

Kaile, this is wonderful

Oh how I have felt like this!

Thanks

I suppose most everyone wishes to exchange places with someone who seems young and unafraid, at least once in a while, but it is true those snapshots tell you very little about the real person or his/her life.  Better to be content with the life you have earned, but thanks for making us think about it.

This was a very creative poem. I liked it a lot!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Wonder what was the photo you were looking at when you wrote this... But this part, makes me think that mannequins are made to perfection, unmarred and unrealistic... This is our mindset as fresh school leavers, as we stand confidently, with the world at our feet... Only takes a few years down the road for us to learn that, harsh is reality...
