And now I cry.

Every one has been a child,1

Happy smiles of joy.2

Acting gentle and mild,3

Playing with their toys. 4

Hugging their teddy bears,5

And laughing with their friends. 6

Running about with out a care,7

Playing things, such as pretend. 8

Cry once, or twice,9

Family’s there to comfort. 10

Yes, how nice,11

When you swim in lakes in summer. 12

All these children feel, and know13

That forever they'll have comfort. 14

When they are older, and grown15

None of it will fall under. 16

My child hood has gone the same,17

Happy, playing, and laughter. 18

Up until I reached an age,19

Where these joyful memories shattered. 20

My friends, they all drifted away21

And left me to be alone. 22

My family’s comfort; not another day,23

Leaving me as cold as stone. 24

My toys have all burnt in holes,25

Of evil; the fires wrath. 26

My teddy bear has been sold,27

Soon later; thrown into trash. 28

Those games such as pretend, 29

Have lost their fun atmosphere. 30

But now i try, instead31

To pretend I have no more fears. 32

No more swimming in lakes,33

They have all drained out. 34

Because of society's mistakes,35

And no one bothering to do anything about36

It. 37

Yes,38

I remember the laughter, smile and joy. 39

And how I would sit, with my friends and toys. 40

But Now I have nothing for me to smile,41

Now I lay here42

And now I cry43

For what seems more then a while.

    Life does seem to be in decline, doesn't it? If you make the right decisions, though, it gets better after a point. At least, that's what I'm always told. I don't think I've been that far yet.

    I enjoy being young and am looking forward to the future. I will always remember my childhood and good friends. Some I will always keep. I will also keep moving in life tho and make new friends and have new experiences. You should think the same. Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest.

    I like being young... This should be a happy poem! You know, About memories about childhood not stuff about how being older is sad and depressing! You 13 anyway. This is a great poem though. Good job!
