Remember

Sometimes you just have to look in the mirror

“Remember” she reminds herself

Wrap your arms tight around yourself

Wipe the cold tear where you once lay

Release your inner child so she can play


“Remember” says the innocent laugh

Laugh at your hurt only on my behalf

Rebuild block houses you once tore down

Rebaptize in water in your christening gown


Remember your intimate, little rubber room

You were a butterfly stifled, waiting to bloom

You were bruised but your spirit never slain

Oh, little girl, you knew you weren’t insane


Remember me as you glance in the mirror

You’re reborn and there’s no room for error

Meet me under our rainbow as our spirits join again

Come on, it’s time for us to dance and live, my Jenn

Your writing is always good, and this is no exception. I love this piece, it's a therapuetic type of write. We, as little children, are humble and meek and innocent. what happened to those days? i know sometimes I go; man, i remember when i made frends with anyone, i didn't worry, judge, get parnoid, i was just me, and had fun with life. sometimes we have to embrace ourselves with that young spirit, and be, well, young again.

thank you for writing this. it brought a part of my spirit to see the light, i enjoyed it

Yes! Beautiful and bittersweet, but clinging to the hope that life is still there for you to discover anew...

[R J Askew]

Very positive. Like the last line of each verse, esp the very last line. Welcome back.

Oh Jenn that's so touching and wonderful. I'm happy to see your flowing in the breezes and riding the rainbow of your rebirth to that pot of gold. Never was anything wrong, just some drove you to an unfamiliar site. Happy to read your work again�.huggs

A very good affirmational poem to uplift yourself. I liked it's flow and the way you covered age in a progressional staged stanza was grea. Very well written jenn, and very well recieved. keep up the great work.

This strikes me as a deeply written and very personal piece. I thought you did a great job with the flow and the tempo of it. Sometimes we should all take a moment and release our inner child. Thanks for sharing.
