Never again - clinging by ~overkil:iconoverkil:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Old Poetry Structure > Emotional




Leaving this place
i look behind me
not sure exactly
what i may find
waiting for me
blank faces of those
i used to know
slowly changing places
of those i used to go

Everything is gone
i used to own
at just an age of eighteen
i already feel so old
to old for my own good
fimiliar freinds age into
people i dont recognize and
cant relate in out usual way

Im feeling so alone
even with my family
and freinds surrounding me
I just wanna be young
a little boy content
with his nintendo
and little adventures out back.
never again; the most depressing thought.

Clinging to what i had makes me lose all hope for whats to come.

No real rhyme scheme so i guess its just a poetic rant. the screen shot was me in first grade.

Mad world by gary jules sums up everything i feel.

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with your poem. You expressed something we all go through at one time or another in our lives and you evoked such deep feeling it brought tears to my eyes. It's all about change...whether we're ready or not. Thank you for sharing this very personal part of your soul with us.

that sums up alot of what i feel as well. we are all now forced to jump into a world that we may not be ready for. but remember that your friends are always here.

i really like the last line although you're back to the sad stuff again. you only feel like that for a little while before everything sorta settles where it should be...its kinda like growing pains only now you're just old

yeah i've felt just like that... really recently. driving home and thinking how everything is moving so fast, the world is out of my control, it was so much easier when my life revolved around the neighborhood game of flashlight tag on summer nights. and like my friends don't get me. but then, right when it got the worst, and everything was so horrible i couldn't stand it, life surprised me and i found out just how good my friends really are. its all ups and downs. this is a down, but i guarantee you'll get to the up part again. nice, raw piece -- very honest and blunt. +fav :) (Smile)

A very good poem. I especially like the last line, it's a perfect statement.
