Back in the day

by ShOrTy   Dec 9, 2005


There used to b a day
wen everything was good
wen chocolate cake would be the only dark thing running down my face
when razors were only used to shave
when safety pins were never thought of as weapons
and tears were only cried in sickness or utter happiness
when blood only dripped from my body when i skinned my knee
when my heart was never broken and it beat so strong
when boys only came over to throw dirt at me
when best friends meant sharing your toys or hair ribbons
back in the day i was happy
and now..well now..i don't know what i am
life isnt so innocent nemore
the razors r my enemies and my friends r gone
the blood drips more and more and the tears run so long
mascara and eyeliner drip down my shruken eyes
and my heart hardly beats because it is so broken
so alone
back in the day..everything was ok

    Wow, that was really powerful. I really makes you think about your concept of your past and comparing it to how you see life now. I think this was a brilliant subject to write a poem on. The feelings from this poem shine through and the reader can identify with them really well. Kepp up the good work.
