Lost and Broken

0 posted 2003-05-10 12:05 PM


The wind blows calmly,
The leaves all fade.
Childhood is ending,
Along with this charade.

No more games at recess,
Or running to Mommy with a broken heart.
Now we have to be independant,
In a world that's being torn apart.

We have to grow up now,
It's time to be self reliant.
We can't be five years old anymore,
When all we were was defiant.

We're thrust out into this world,
So unprepared for what lies ahead.
Everyone hears the exact same thing,
Without knowing exactly what was said.

We're not ready to grow up yet,
Or to move away from home.
We need this warm and comforting place,
Out there we are so alone.

At times I feel like a little girl again,
Wanting to run into my Mother's arms.
I want her to hold me and tell me everything's safe,
That I am completely protected from harm.

But in reality this can't happen,
There is no protective shield.
Our pain can no longer be out in the open,
It must all remain concealed.

At this time in our life, we can't talk about feelings,
It's always all work and no play.
Deep inside, we all want to give in,
Only no one knows what to say.

So we simply go along like this,
As if puppets on a string.
Wishing we were young again,
We didn't know how much pain this would bring.

There's no way to escape this event in our life,
This errogant and unjustified cruelty.
We are just naive and put a stupid name to it,
We like to call it maturity.

As I smile at everyone else, I'm dying inside... ~Me

Good work! I really did like this, and I think we can all relate to it one way or another. Yep, this is going in my library! Ah, I can't even tell you how much I like this one! Great job! ~Jess

*sigh* That is *so* true.

When I was little, only wanting to grow up, I totally never thought it would be so hard.

Really good job on that one.

Ahh the sad truth comes out. I think you're probably right in everything you said. I like this poem, the only thing I see as a negative is that I think that the syhllables are a litle messed up in some lines, and it could flow better, but that's just my opinion.
