Leaving BehindA Poem by 李[A]I wrote this for the contest http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/Suicide/14269/. This is my first writing piece on here and I look forward to more! This poem represent my feelings at times.
Every fairy tale starts with the “Once upon a time”.
And as young children, we lived in this time: A time of no worries, a distinct naivety of happenings. Songs of life ring as nostalgia of the zephyrs that swayed our small bodies rejuvenates As we remember these times. But those times were so long ago. As time went on, feelings became synonymous with our mental development: When we learned about red shift in science class, Happiness had a red shift away from us. And as the colors of the shift dispersed, The red flushed our faces as ambivalence Toward everything we once thought as real expanded. The rage punished those closest to us, Breaking bonds established once ago. Then we learned of the blue shift. Sadly, happiness did not come toward us, But rather the breaking of our bonds came to haunt us. Now in the open blue, all alone, There is no one to support us any longer. As the void grew clear, we stood up on the side. The “we” became “I” as the similarity of Despair no longer bonded us together. As I jumped, my memories of the past came flooding toward me, Realizing that there was never a happily ever after. © 2011 李[A]Author's Note
