Remembering, the good times, what didn’t last?
Going there, peeling apart lies, looking back
Not forgetting, the bad times, trying to not judge
How I acted then, how others were, yet my outlook wont budge

We were young, none of us thought ahead, to what might occur
None of us knew, how it would affect, who we were
Most of us paid a price, through that year we fought
By the end we couldn’t trust, it was all for naught

All we accomplished was finding how much hurt we could cause
Looking ou,t knit picking, extorting each other’s flaws
Because of us we destroyed, beyond repair
All those not involved, had to suffer, it was hardly fair

We couldn’t step back, realize what was being done
Trust, close friends, among us by the end, there was none
All couldn’t help but think about what had been said
The fear put across, hurt caused, all the tears shed

I could barely believe
Before, friends, now this grief
In some cases we have healed it, in others not able to forget
You could say its gotten better; the others also forgot what they might regret

Not one of us is innocent, guilty with out a doubt
They can’t protest though they may try, scream and shout
It all comes to nil, I was there too, and I saw them
People I barely knew, ones I didn’t like, even my friends

We hurt and were hurt, we cried and made cry
Stopped trusting, lost it in others, none of this can we deny
Its true or what I knew, maybe its not, I might never find out
To this day what really happened, I can only tell what I saw come about

Gossip train, once it gets you, you never stop
You never get off, can’t help it, you don’t get back what you lost
After all this it made us grow up, when it was over
We were after what we started and finished much older

Wow… I can understand this so well, except I’m afraid I didn’t start in 5th grade, but no matter, cause I feel like everyone will be able to understand this, will still feel the hurt and even shame from some of their past actions…

All I can really say is well done, not much to add to that, I know it doesn’t seem like much, but I’d rather say what I think than not say it at all. You are one amazing writer; you definitely know how to transport a reader back in time. This was a very well written piece; I did notice one or two grammar errors but nothing major...

I liked how you broke it down into stanzas, it really helped me keep my place while reading it was much appreciated.

Once again I can’t wait to see what else you come up with

As always
Stargal

PS – You might want to know that you double posted this poem…
