Ode to young

So sad. I see shades of grey in it. I have those days. And I too have had that life (parts of it at least.) Funny how when we bare ourselves, we realize we all carry many of the same burdens.

Very Good But Also Sad In A Way. I Enjoyed It.

Is this true to your childhood? Shhh...secret tunnels.

wow, rather sad, but very nice. I like the penultimate line particularly, probably because it stands out :)

hi! maple. u miss the things u were not given. this poem shows u appreciate their value. and u'll cherish them when u've them. lol. ;-)

Our childhood always remains a shadow. It follows us through time.

Sad but beautiful. ^^

Hey Maple :)

It takes a very secure and brave person to share these feelings. For that alone, I applaud. Then there's the poem. It is wonderful and honest. Well-written and extremely relevant. Amazing as always! Regan

liked it, it was short and really captured emotion

aah! ok so when I finished reading this, my eyes stung, you are very talented very very very! I've read other poems by you and well, you write from the heart! Please my dear, find the time to read my work! I'd love to know what you think!

Very sad poem. I feel so bad for you. The poem is really good. You did a great job on it. I wish you all the strength and good luck on the future for you. Excellent job. :)

Not bad, I would've liked more detail in your sentences and perhaps more imagery? It seems a tad simple for my liking. Maybe that's just me......anyway keep writing.

this is true. and i like the blankness in it. i've def. been there before. great work. i look forward to reading more.

i read your profile and expected something as sarcastic as i am .
i was very surprised to read this , you took something like a terrible memory and made something sad but beautiful from it .
you are indeed a rare talent .

Great poem! But very sad, as others have said.
You are a good writer though.

This struck a chord. very good work.

Interesting, rather sorrowful and beautifully descriptive.
Three words that describe the branch that grew in my thought tree after reading this poem. I really liked it. :)
