I wish I can get back to that time
when walking and climbing the chair was the biggest struggle,
and all I can hear was the sound of my endless giggle.
When the ultimate joy was playing and pulling that fake gun trigger.
When the only reason I loved going to school was to get that star sticker;
And 2+2 was all I wanted to figure.
But as life goes on, everything starts to change and get tougher.
And the chair is no longer the trouble.
And you may go through moments of hysterical pressure;
That make your life grimmer.
But here come the great memories to shine on it and make it glitter.

Love this poem--The first two lines really struck home with me. I think we all want to go back to simpler, easier times, so this is a great reflection for all of us. Hope you keep sharing your poetry!

ReplyDeleteSalah,thank you. And It's not exactly a competition but it's a bit challenging ;)
DeleteI love how you captured such a nostalgic feeling in your poem, Masa! The first 3 lines were really powerful images of childhood -- such small worries, like climbing on a big chair, and such carefree happiness with your "endless giggle". Thank you for sharing!
