Childhood Memories

We all have those Childhood memories

Those "mommy don't leave me here!",school days

Early morning,"Don't forget your lunch sweetheart!"

With those little snacks and the "Have a good day!" notes on kitchen napkins

But at some point those little snacks in our lunch boxes

Become little blue pills

,That we pop like candy

All of the sudden the napkin notes

,well

They cease to exist

and those "don't leave me here!" school days

Become "I can't wait to get out of here.."

and lunch?

Well who needs to eat anyways?

I'm already filled up with alcohol and pills

and you can't forget the  thoughts

Oh the thoughts!

The ones that are hungry enough

To rip me apart piece by piece 

And eat me up,starting with my mind

...and taking away my soul

Leaving behind this empty shell of a girl

That its already weathered away anyways

life's what ? life's filled with pain, sorrow, hurry and peace and memories. You well painted here about characters or about views../time and about memories.

This is an emotionally striking piece...the resignation in the final lines is devastating...great work.

I particularly like how you speak in a present perspective about the past. It doesn't lean towards regret. More of . . . a nostalgia.

wow, as I was reading this I was thinking of my childhood days again, I wish I still had those but just like your poem I actually did replace it.
