Why did we grow up so fast ?

Whenever i think of my my past, the cherishing school memories come running in my thoughts. This is just an attempt to express those haunted childhood days...

This is for people who miss their school days:

Few forgotten things,

Few Past Memories,

Moms hug,

Dads shoulders.

No future dreams,

No future fears,

When the morning alarm

Was the only irritating moment.

No thoughts of earning money,

No foolish theories of life,

When finding the socks

Was the most difficult task.

Chasing of butterfly,

Running behind friends,

When the journey to class

Was the only dreadful way.

The see saw rides,

The nursery rhymes,

When playing in the rain

Were the most wonderful times.

Bunking of classes,

Coffee with friends,

When the most lovely time 

Was meeting friends.

Here we are again,

In the present time.

Where we turn around to see,

No one by our side.

Where did we get lost 

In this world of mysteries ?

Why can't we go and

Relive the histories ?

I like this a lot. I often feel this way. My friends and I were always in such a rush to grow up.

[Holly Soques]

Very nice, nostalgic piece about early childhood, definitely, when we didn't get so entangled in our own little worlds to bother caring about others any more. Does make you wonder, doesn't it? Whatever happened to change all of that?

A good piece of poetry. You have wonderfully captured the school days of every child. I hope you will be posting poems like this.

Hey I think you forgot how it actually felt to be a teenager.

Things you find easy now? You were not well equipped to handle before. Past problems seem pointless NOW when you know what's really happening but as I said, you were not well equipped to handle before.

I guess you're right about not being alone, the fun moments. But there were hopeless times too. There will be all our lives.
