I used to be a child My laughter always on the edge of my lips My eyes wide with curiosity My skin tingling with the new sensations I used to be happy with myself Able to justify my actions with whim I was ready to ride the wind Exploring the world around me as I conquered Innocence was bliss And happiness was never a question I used to be a child And suddenly the summers faded into winter The chill of reality made me cold So I wrapped myself up in a blanket A cover of cynacism and doubt The world that I had conquerded now confused me Things had changed My laughter seemed to retreat behind the sounds of my anger My eyes shut tightly, keeping out the harshness of this world I feared the world as I existed in it Innocence was lost Happiness was an illusion I used to be a child I was never afraid But now that I am grown up it scares me to death ~*Denali Silverwolf*~ |

True. We often miss our youth when we grow up. I can connect to this. --Chibi |

Very well done Silverwolf.....get out from behind that blanket and write another beautiful poem like this one....you could'nt write this when you were a child... that's not an order by the way it's a request.. |
