I Was Such A Happy Child

by lonelynow   Nov 28, 2005


My mother doesn't believe
what she can plainly see

cant be happening to me
this really cannot be
please sweetie eat your tea
i was such a happy child
where has that child gone
she hasn't been gone long
her replacement doesn't belong
why have thing gone so wrong
i was such a happy child
i see her crying
dreaming of dying
away from everyone shying
always deceitful and lying
i was such a happy child
never told anyone at all
never gave child line a call
kept quiet while her sadness grew so tall
tried desperately to bury it all
i was such a happy child
the depression surprised everyone
those words expected by none
why help does she shun
why away from me does she run
i was such a happy child
i feel i do not know her
this is terrible why did it occur
staring blankly at that screen playing copter
her childhood turns to a blur
why do we never confer
theres something wrong i deter
for you to be happy i would prefer
don't want surprises like this to recur
i was such a happy child

but mother cant you see
i cant help whats happening to me

please please comment

    Aww i know the feeling
    my mom never saw what was going on with me either
    now i have so much hidden from her that it's reasonable for me to say that she truly doesnt know me

    i like how you had a line repeating through out the poem, cool stuff right there, cause it always seemed to fit right in

    Very good, I was not a happy child, nor am i a happy teenager. Even though my mum will never see this coz she thinks i was a happy child n she thinks i am a happy teen. =(. Deppression can be so unexpected. Great poem keep up the good work

    Well done. Good poem. Ye I was a happy child aswell. So innocent and unknowing. I guess it got clouded by what I see now. very good poem.

    Just this very small thing:

    why help does she shun
    why away from me does she run

    It's a bit forced rhyming. It doesn't flow so well. Anyway, I liked it alot.

    Very good :) keep up the good work :)
