I Would Go Back

The colors are all gone now 

It's pure black and white 

Me and the old photographs, memories tumbling back into my mind 

The ones I meant to forget and the ones i always wanted to remember 

I miss them

Yes 

Even the bad ones

 Some are faint, and some are as plain as yesterday.

I lay here

Wishing I could go back

Some of them, I would miss out on

The others, I wouldn't miss for the world.

My family,

Going camping,

Man, I wanna go back. 

If I could

I would

You have no idea.

I love the way the poem expresses how people feel when they remember things from their past. I have nothing more to say then well done. We all wish we can go back in time. Even as a teenager I would like to go back and it just gets more and more strong as you get older. We all want to do everything before our deaths but there is not alway time so we just look at our memories and regret bad things and wish for the good. So much feeling from such a small poem. Like a diamond, not big, but is worth so much.

I like the poem, being an adult is wonderful but can also be crappy! Being a child means you're carefree. And it's also easy to think back of easier times while being stuck in the present and missing the good old times..I think it's important to look ahead, but as you get older all you see is a big fat grave so it's nice to think of the life you've had. Anyways..didn't mean to ramble...like the poem :)

Oh, em, gee. I would totally go back to those times if given the chance. I think childhood is something you truly can only have once. You can go back to being a teenager or at least try. You can act young but you can never be a child again. You can never have the same perspective a child does. Everything is so dandy then. Nice poem, I can truly tell you miss it.
