PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Life is starting to confuse me, putting me through a haze.
Because as it worsens, the more I miss the better days.

Don't you remember when all complications were at ease?
When you're young, and gullible, and life's a breeze?

Don't you miss when princes were heroes and dragons were slaid?
Now the princes turn into pigs just wanting to get laid.

Don't you wish the most pain you could have was to scrape your knee?
And a firefighter, a princess, or a vet was all you wanted to be?

Remember how simple minded and ignorant we all were?
Wanting to be like your daddy, the superhero of your world.

Remeber when diet sodas were the worst thing you could drink?
And toothpaste was the only thing you washed down the sink?

Remember when crack was wack, and cocaine was insane?
And your mom's biggest worry was you wet in the rain?

I miss those days having no responsibility or choices.
A time where it was alright to hear voices.

But as we grow older and see,
How dark, cruel, and cold the world can be.

When panties turn into g-straps,
From never wanting to sleep, to always taking naps.

From trusting everyone to no one but yourself.
From saying "go jump off a cliff", to "go to hell."

From always covering up, to wanting to show off,
From a sniffle and wipe, to a snort and cough.

You change the meaing of words like play,
From being perfectly straight, to thinking you're gay.

From thinking suicide was crazy to something that happens everyday.
From never wanting to leave home to wanting to runaway.

I constantly stay in thought, I walk to the edge of the sea,
And stare at the ocean sitting there, always ready to swallow me.
