I remember when everything seemed easier than now,
So long ago at it feels like but a wisp of memory.
Recalling times in my childhood years, tossed about inside,
Tumbling like leaves in the wind, strewn about within
Crevices of myself, containing fragments of who I was,
Minute keys to the future of who I would become.
Looking back to the first friends I had, no secrets to keep,
Never looking back, wondering if there was something more.
Reflecting on days long gone, before problems like
Fears, concerns, worries about what others see in me,
Placed alongside what they seen in the world itself,
Predating all these aspects of my life as it is today.
Still, the years have changed me for the better, molding me,
Forming me into a more responsible and courteous person,
More than the selfish brat I was, seeing only me
Thought all situations, longing only to have the spotlight
Shine on me forever, not caring what happened to others
and holding dreams that would only better myself.
I recall how people's views started to change as did the world
With the crumbling of structures and the onset of war.
See how we have changed in these short years that have past?
Watching slowly as our words and gestures break them down.
The people around us, our friends, our countrymen, whey,
Perhaps we are not so much different from way back then,
Just children in the world, never understanding anything.
Just something I wrote in English class as part of an assignment last year. Well, not the one that just past, but the one before that. It was a free-writing exercise, more an attempt as spurring thought than a solid assignment like an essay or something of that nature. Thought there was some good parts about it, even though its even more free-thought than my other pieces. It's an interesting type of literature that's almost like prose, but I put it in poetry because of the line breaks.

As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback.

I really like this one. I had flash backs while reading it... it makes me think about us as individual people and our universal goal... very nicely written!
