I Want It Back


I can still remember those days,

Where kids were normal kids

And everything made sense,

At least for a little while,

But when I grew up,

Getting older and older

In my mind

From all the awful knowledge contained inside,

Learning things I wish I’d never learned,

But dear,

As everyone says,

This is our world now,

And this is the real world now,

So you just have to deal with it;

But oh,

How I miss those easy,

Normal,

Blissful,

Beautiful,

Joyful,

Fulfilling days.

I have been writing poetry for 5 years now and I have a collection of over 600 original poems I've made. I submitted a poem to Appelley Publishing and was published in the 2018 addition of their poetry book. I love to read and write, and I have a cat and a hamster.
