This Old Photo

by Saving Grace   Sep 6, 2008


Looking at these photographs,
I see old friends, always full of laughs.
Bursting with energy, smiles upon each face
What the hell happened to this place?

All those innocent children playing and smiling together,
Howd we ever think those days would last forever?
We went through primary school not a care in the world,
Then we hit highschool, scary how quickly the b*chiness would unfold.

We were all excited, thinking highschool would be a blast,
Thought we'd always remember, those memories from the past.
But we all changed, and feeling no shame.
Its kind of sad, how things will never be the same.

It went from apple juice, to vodka bottles,
From bruises on the knee, to people slitting their wrists,
From baby dolls, to real life pregnancies,
And from the best of friends, to worst enemies.

All the nice little kids, who used to get along,
To bad decisions, going horrible wrong.
How did we all change so fast?
I cant even recognise, anyone from the past!

Boys who were always kind,
Are now gone, and impossible to find.
Girls who were scared of getting cooties,
are smoking pot, and always so moody.

Its so weird how we went from totally inseperable,
To behaving in ways, we're told are unexceptable
But the photos will go back, but not forever,
And the memories, im sure we will always remember??

    I thought this write was beyond creative. it was very unique. i loved the form you wrote in and how you expressed yourself. and the title of the poem is quite eye catching.

    It went from apple juice, to vodka bottles,
    From bruises on the knee, to people slitting their wrists,
    From baby dolls, to real life pregnancies,
    And from the best of friends, to worst enemies

    i liked that stanza the most. it's really true. pure and heartfelt. tells what every teenager goes through. all and all i loved this piece, it was different. and different is good. job well done. 5/5.
