Youth

Been stuck in the early 2000's since last year
I swear the sun never rose until late September
Play that old cassette for a little while
it makes more sense to me than most people

Someone smeared chalk colours on the blushing sky
as the warm rain swept over me
I almost felt like I was fifteen again
Almost...

I remember that old feeling of optimism
I was going to hit the road with a golden plan
Time seemed so infinite, I never seemed to age
I just loved how everything was new to me

Someone smeared chalk colours on the blushing sky
as the warm rain swept over me
I almost felt like I was fifteen again
Almost...

Now we have a little time to find out
where we all went wrong

Someone painted clouds on my sunny day
brushed me with cold, icy snow
I almost felt I could step back to yesterday
Almost...

Simple title, and fitting as well as a nice and fitting write. The way you write about simple things and enjoying them like the "old cassette" and then using the nature, the sky... it's really nice how you create this imagery with feelings. It's nice when you can have a moment of feeling young, or a moment with a memory of childhood. You touched the topic really nicely. I really like this poem from beginning to end.

Soft imagery magnificently depicted. Beautiful wording used.

I love it, I really do. All emotions can be felt with this one, and although I cannot relate to that age, I can relate to when I was a child. How everything felt much smoother and perfect.
