I think sometimes upon my youth,
and wonder why it had to go.
Why you took my summer's warmth,
replaced it all with ice and snow.

You told me now is not the time,
for silly games that make no sense.
You took away my basic awe.
You stole my round faced innocence.

You poisoned all my time for laughing,
ate away my simple joys.
You left me with my shattered dreams,
and far too many broken toys.

Were love and light once reigned supreme,
is now where darkness claims a place.
It pulls itself along the tracks,
of tears that still run down my face.

I cannot see my youth today,
my head, it aches, with grown-up cares.
You took away my simple love.
You crucified my teddy bears.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Hey,

This is a superb poem, I don't know what happened to you but I like it, your first 3 poems where good. But your most recent 2 are excellent. I truly enjoy reading your work. Keep up the great work. This is for my library. Until your next masterpiece

Great job on the poem. I enjoyed this very much!

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Very nicely done here.. You did another fantastic job, love.
