Remember When?

Remember when we were young?
When we could say "play" instead of "hung".

Back then we just wanted to get old,
we didn't worry about who to hold.

We'd get all dirty in the mud,
and then squeal and squirm with our best bud.

Seeing a spider would make us scream.
You could have fun and not worry if it was a dream.

Well now we've grown old,
we have to be careful who to trust, who to hold.

Now its vulgar to roll around in mud,
Our trust days are over, we've lost our best bud.

Now we wake up and scream,
It's now a nightmare, no longer a dream.

The young days are gone, but not forgotten.
They're still left in our hearts,
hid beneath, now only remembered in parts.

They're only now part of our past,
but these are memories saved, best for last.

Remember When?

I like this. It's very simple yet very heartfelt. I think it's interesting that the title is followed by a question mark, as remembrance always begins with a question, with some recognition of a shared feeling or event in the past. Without some confirmation of our common experiences, those memories would seem pretty meaningless indeed.

My only suggestion is to perhaps work on the rhythm of the work as a whole. For example, the lines "They're only now part of our past / But these memories are saved, best for last" might sound more fluid if written as "Now they're only part of our past / But the best memories are saved for last." I think if some of the words were re-ordered in this way, the poem would flow much more smoothly.

Other than that, I say: Nice write!

Sincerely,
*S*

Your writing has a very true message, we all seem to try to grow up way too fast, instead of living life to its fullest. Cassie, you have such talent and a lot of promise! You are a brilliant writer! Keep writing!
