Cara- This poem really tugs me in directions of all angles... I adore the title because it does take me back to elementary thoughts... want to grow, but continuing to repeat mistakes and making more out of something so simple.... thought provoking piece with my coffee, I love it!

I love the contrasts here and how you express the opposite of what we want and what we sometimes do. Great idea. I also like how the start was like a list of these things, then the end of the poem you kind of analysed what the truth of them really is and highlighted the meaning of your poem.
