Array ( [sid] => 72592 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Old photo, Old Me [time] => 2004-11-21 19:20:03 [hometext] => A poem i wrote after looking at an old photo of myself for like 30mins just wondering where my life went and rembering how i felt at that point in my life and how different it is now, growing up and the reality of life! [bodytext] => Old photo, Old me

As I look into the eyes of the girl in the photo
I see the innocence of my soul
I am taken away to a place I used to know
A place Called happiness
and the hope and dreams I once dreamed of
I remember as I reminisce
I remember a time when every experience was exciting and new
I remember a time when my heart had never felt the ache of loneliness
And the world in which i lived seemed so honest, happy and true
But now the girl in the photo has grown
and life’s harsh realities are uncovered and known
i will never look at the world through innocent eyes again
because my eyes have seen all of life’s lies and deceit
and i know that i can never be all of the wonderful things i wished to be
it is hard to believe the girl in the photo is really me
in my hands I hold this old photo in my heart I remember the old me.

Ren*

Old photo, Old me

As I look into the eyes of the girl in the photo
I see the innocence of my soul
I am taken away to a place I used to know
A place Called happiness
and the hope and dreams I once dreamed of
I remember as I reminisce
I remember a time when every experience was exciting and new
I remember a time when my heart had never felt the ache of loneliness
And the world in which i lived seemed so honest, happy and true
But now the girl in the photo has grown
and life’s harsh realities are uncovered and known
i will never look at the world through innocent eyes again
because my eyes have seen all of life’s lies and deceit
and i know that i can never be all of the wonderful things i wished to be
it is hard to believe the girl in the photo is really me
in my hands I hold this old photo in my heart I remember the old me.

Good but heart wrenching, I'm sure all of us remember who we once were, we just have to remember our inner child and let her/him out once in awhile, and I'll take my advise also, thx for reminding me. Suzy

Great poem! I can relate to that in so many ways.
