I want to go back to my place of joy. 
I want to play with my favorite toy, 
And laugh in the park,  
till it's dark. 
 
I remember smiling and playing with my friends.  
I remember hoping it never ends. 
Playing tag, 
Till they nag. 
 
Being there was being home. 
And being there I was never alone. 
But time fly's, 
And time dies. 
 
I still will never forget the best days of my life. 
I still will never forget when I felt alive.  


The author's comments:

This poem is about wanting to go back to when I was younger. It was a time with no worries and having fun. The last line means a lot to me, "I still will never forget when I felt alive". I struggle with feeling alive now and remembering how life used to always make me feel better.
