There's no such thing as a Cinderella wedding.

Childhood dreams. . .

When i was three i used to dream,
of sleeping on clouds and what the world will be.

 

When i was five,
I dreamed of,
ponies and castles,
and candy and love.

 

When i was nine,
I had a crush,
on the boy next door.
I dreamed of a big wedding,
and what my dress would look like.

 

At ten years old,
it was kind of weird,
because the dreams i had seemed so unreal,

 

Now in my teens,
I think of my childhood,
and how things where so peace full.

 

How you could walk around,
and no one cared,
about what you looked like,
your clothes, your hair.

 

But those where the good old days,
right now it seems,
that the only thing left to do is dream.

A touching piece of epic sadness, a candid look at a world growing up too fast, and the fight not to lose dreams to the angst.

Some might say that you are too young to have written something so haunting, but they would not be able to defend that point. It has the touch of a mid-life crisis, where one remembers their youth - reaches that pivotal point where they realize what is lost - and that they can only dream of what they used to dream.

As long as you have your dreams though, am I right?

As depressing as it is this is very true. Excellent poem, and I like the title. Once again, another awesome write. Good job :D

[Somebody you've already..]

I didnt like the title cause it didnt reall relate to what you wrote. What do you think about "fairytale dreams" Well dispite the title I really liked the poem. i totally got what you were saying and I liked the way you said it. Great write.

i really liked it and it so true alll the ages and now that were teens we dont even realize how simple life was and how growing up shoulf have been the least of our worries it reall makes us enjoy every second of life cause you never know when its going to get more hectic.. i could be all wrong about what your saying but i really like this..

This poem poses a great point. I can remember the care free days of childhood but never do I feel as I once did. It's feeling we all search for but never achieve.

The title is catching and leading. Nostagalic of the innocent years...where did they go? Why did they go by so quickly? I look down and I have a woman's hands....hmmmm....that might make a good poem! haha
Take care!
cheers, lea

Yes, I do like your poem. Your stanzas take the reader on a ride through your young years and how your dreams changed. It is reassuring that you end the poem on a positive note: you continue to dream!

I like! There is one great thing about getting older! I can't tell you how liberating it felt when I reached an age when I didn't care what other people thought of what I wore or what my hair looked like. It was and is SO refreshing and FREE!
