It is not childish at all trying to hang on
to something very precious and close to
our heart. There may come a time where
we have tolet go in order to move on.
There are good and bad, but we will
always cherish the good memories
5/5

We cherish the good moments we had with someone because sometimes it's the only thing left.

Great poem!

5/5

Well I agree with Dagmar its nit childish at all
Keeping reminders is cool to remember our good times but I have been confused about something
"to not torture myself with thoughts of you,"
Torture here seems strange cause u said our future in stanza beforr so I can guess maybe the persona was having a fight with the person she love and she opened her box of memories to remember good times with that person
5/5 good write

I love it !!

Memories are precious to all of us, they are what makes up our lives and our history.

Without memories, our lives would basically be empty.

A nice read.

It can be considered both healthy and unhealthy to keep this box. Unhealthy because.. As you have stated in the poem.. You could be torturing yourself by keeping it.

However, it could also be a good thing because you are remembering the positive aspects of the relationship - what it was all worth and why you loved that person.

5/5 for this one, rough draft and all! Seems great as it is. (:

Dear hannah ,its nt easy to burn such boxes..
Nice poem..sad too

Hannah, if this is actually true and you are still contemplating burning a box full of memories, don't do it. It would be a big mistake. Sometimes things from the past can hurt us, but they can also help us :)

I really like this poem. My favorite part was when you were listing some of the things that were in that box because it made the poem more relatable to the reader. It made the reader sympathize with you because they might have had/done the same things.

Excellent poem
5/5

You did an excellent job. Its a poem everyone of us here could relate to.. Kudos!

I loved this piece its so deep and true i liked the simplicity init but yet it hits you hard well done
