Old family photos

Old family photos

A Poem by Robyn

Looking at 
old family photos
is weird

It's like 
looking at 
strangers 

I don't feel
like I know them
and sometimes
I barely remember 
how it was 
to be that person 
smiling at me 

These happy people 
are long gone
and there is 
no going back
to being them

we look at them and say to ourselves.."where did those people go?"
and sometimes i just want to jump into the photo and be back there once again...
i really like this...

yeah they can bring back happy memories or just leave you with a feeling of disconnection
You are right , photos capture moments that will never be back , sometimes the memories are good , sometimes you don't feel related anymore

A very relatable, interesting poem. That actually makes me think the exact same emotions on looking at photos of myself when younger. So very true. Enjoyed this a lot.
