What Happened To Maddie?

I seem to be asking myself the same question...

What happened to the bright-eyed, redhaired little girl?

who used to have her brown eyelashes up in a curl?

who used to bring people flowers when they were sick?

I guess something someone said just decided to stick.

 

What happened to the 5'7" green-eyed little kid?

that something you said just blew off her lid?

because now all she does is sit in her home

with her music turned up loud, she is all alone

 

what happened to the girl who used to plant roses?

who would never sleep in class, but now she dozes?

what happened to the sister, the friend, the daughter?

what happened to Maddie? Guess that girl is no longer.

Believe me... I seem to be asking myself the same question nowadays.

Gotta shelve it! :)

everybody change as we grow, its either we grow apart or closer. life is a journey to the light or in the dark. i like this. a very thought provoking poem. nice job.

I ask myself the same thing too... You have expressed your feeling so well with delicate words and a gripping rhyming scheme. Questions left unanswered, feeling forsaken in this bog wide world. Amazing poem, keep writing!

[A. V. Madison]

Thank you so much, AK! That means a lot.

Anytime:)

In your delicate dance of words you confess the melting of innocence into life's legacy... how it taints us and paints us with darker hues... And the questions make me believe that Maddie might just be sitting in the shadows waiting for the sun to shine again.

[A. V. Madison]

Perfect representation of my life right now. I am waiting in the shadows. I'm just waiting for it to be okay again, I guess. That's why I wrote this poem- so nobody will expect the bubbly Maddie for awhile.

[An owl on the moon]

Maddie, I truly appreciate your honesty, and have been in those shadows myself... I hope you find that there are those of us here that are friends through both sunshine and shadow... May your wait not be too long, precious poet.

[A. V. Madison]

Thanks Craig.

[Serenity Faith]

I think many people ask themselves that question sometimes. I know I do, and actually wrote about it too. It seems to make it easier, by making your old self almost as if they are their own separate being. Very well done. You have a talent for writing poetry for sure.

[A. V. Madison]

Thank you so much, Emily! That means so much!

[Tai Ryens]

I ask myself similar questions throughout many of my days. Relateable write, I enjoyed.

[A. V. Madison]

I'm glad you liked it! It's always nice for someone to be able to relate to my writing, rather than just read it and like it with no emotional understanding.But anyways, thank you.

I wish I wrote as detailed as you! This is ................ AWESOME!

[A. V. Madison]

Haha, thanks Seema.
