How beautiful, sad and true.

When a graze on the knee caused just so much grief,
Now you self inflict them to bring some relief,
Where giggles would escape in a violent attack
Now you take pills in an attempt to bring them back.

Perfectly said, really reminds us all of the inevitability of maturity, and it seems all i want to do these days is go back in time so i could be a child forvever, or slow it down, so i never have to grow up.

a poem full of passion, without a wasted word. Perfect, keep it up.

Yeah, it sucks having to grow up. When i was little i used to wish that i could grow up faster cos it all seemed so much easier for grown ups...wasnt i silly lol. wicked poem em xxx

That was so beautiful and sad and deep, it nearly made me cry! The first 2 verses are so gentle and soft, after that it really is like the harsh awakening, out of the soft, rosy light of memory, into the harsh light of day. Truly amazing in every way, and perfectly worded. 5/5

Wow, amazingly simple and stunning. there's really nothing else to say.

Oh wow... It's so true, as children we just want to rush and grow up, as adults we realise how stupid we were. At our age, it's tough, I'm still clinging to the dregs of my childhood, but ah well, we must try :D Absolutely wonderful poem, I couldn't have said it better myself. Perhaps I will try in SAINSBURYS muhahaha xxxxx

Great poem i loved it so much!!
