Poem Title:
Poem
I remember a time when each day was long, When the world was a playground and my life a song. And I flutter through the years with barley a care, Ignoring the future and what waited there. School was intriguing and filled with delights, I played away daytimes and dreamed away nights. My parents assures me I had nothing the fear, And that no matter what happened they’d always be here. But little I knew of a world outside home, Where tradgedy, sorrow, and murder would roam. All I saw was blue skies, rainbows, and stars. I looked past destructions of buildings and cars. As a child my biggest concern was just me, I had to be happy I had to be free. And if I had to be content I would not shed a tear. Because no matter what I would still be here. But as I gorw up darkness starts to sit in My bright world has turned into concrete and tin. I now see the violence I looked past before, My friends start to die and ny heart hits the floor. Deadly dieases claimed people I loved, There are landfills below me and pollution above. I often think back when life was just a game, But no matter what it will never be the same. There are days when I… I just want to break down and howl, To give up completely To throw in the towl But I hold my head high and I push my way through, Because I have so much to give and so much to do. And I make a vow that though it will be hard, I’ll go on with a smile and play every card. I’ll give all I can, help others and love And the strength I don’t have will come from above. So come take my hand and through darkness we will sail And if we stand together we can’t fail!
