What this has become.

Folder: 
2012-2013

Illuminated slate filled with childhood dreams

Sacred space to cage the screams

We came here once in droves

Just to fill the blank pages we hold

I see it in the dark corners they hide

The memories that still reside

This was our haven before life took off

Before fate flung us all so far

I remember the words we once used

The angst of chosen who felt misused

We drowned our sorrows in simple words

Murdered poem and prose

I miss the fortress I built and lost in this code

The emotional tidal wave we all rode

Nostalgia cuts deep at times

When we all shared this secret

When we had this place to share our rhymes 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just remembering when i first found myself writing and posting on this site. Everything was so simple and innocent but so many pages were filled with poetry ode to our misfortune. We all had our struggles as everyone does, though I am nostalgic for those times I still feel safe here. As I probably always will.
