Memories of Happier Days, Free Verse Poem

[Verse 1]

Bright, joyous, filled with life

Dark, morose, filled with hate

Picture of the moment with only a smile

Picture of the moment with only a frown

Nothing, but tears of happiness

Nothing, but tears of sadness

Cuddling to the warmth of my parents

Pushing away the warmth of my parents

Trusting each lives with all of my heart

Avoiding lives farther and farther apart

No worries had ever reached me

Anxiety is always keeping me

Innocent of the young, kindness within the eyes

Exposed in my lungs, harshness within the eyes

The child afraid of the dark

The man afraid of the light

Life is a walk in the park

Life is a continuous fight
