    Wow...
    I truly love this write from the beginning to the end. This is one of the most original poem from 'sadness and depression' category I've read in a while. Whole piece is very refreshing and I like your writing style- you have a way with words. This poem is creative and I like its narrative tone. Also, the imagery that you portrayed is excellent, very vivid. I could clearly picture every stanza unfolding in front of my eyes. I like the sarcasm within this poem because the sarcastic tone of some lines added great effect to this greatly written piece.
    The only thing that I didn't like is the punctuation in some places, I think that it should be revised but other than that, this poem is amazing. The title is very captivating, too, it caught my attention and this is even better than I expected.
    Keep writing!
    5/5 from me (and I'm sorry i can't rate it higher lol)

    First of all title is great, it is truly eye-catching and original.

    -Hide-and-seek hearts
    have a mind of their own
    playing childish games
    hopscotch and telephone-

    ^Very direct opening lines, they amazed me, each line posses so much creativity and interesting descriptions.

    -Days when we were younger
    shooting the cool breeze
    back before my heart got this way
    back before the rain-filled freeze-

    ^This is very refreshing, I admire the compact construction of this picture, you said so much with little words.

    -Skipping down the lane
    friends, arm in arm
    but friends are blind, don't you see?
    blinded by my witty charm-

    ^Another incredible stanza, it is so detail and it kept my attention with each word, third line have such powerful twist.

    -Reader, did you forget?
    how The End doesn't mean it's done
    just means it was a happy pause
    with heroes riding into the sun-

    ^Simply breathtaking lines, I really can feel so much emotions in them and you expressed your message here on great way.

    -Oops, did I just ruin it?
    Did I tell you fairies aren't real?
    perhaps another shattered innocence
    tell me, how does that make you feel.-

    ^Here this is a tone of depression which added even more effect to the whole atmosphere, you wrote this without metaphors and it is still pure mix of great poetic beauty and great sadness.

    -Hope you aren't devestated
    when I tell you the things you used to play
    were only the stuff of dreams
    and makebelieve always goes away-

    ^devestated should be devastated
    Anyway quite impressive write, it holds so much sorrow and you truly wrote it with amazing originality.

    -So open your eyes, Reader
    and watch your innocence tear away
    and now reality fills that void
    and, honey, it's here to stay -

    ^Usually word -honey- in poem truly truly make me to hate whole piece cause I dislike that word here you fascinated me! So beautiful ending, it is so remarkable and you left very impressionable impression on me, I absolutely love it, you did excellent job with expressing emotions through narrative rhythm and each word is on the perfect place.

    Overall I admire your style of writing, subject of this piece is so different from most poems which I read and I think that you wrote whole poem fantastically. This really deserves contest nomination, bravo!
