Childhood Lost Poem by Stephanie Breuer

Long ago,
It seems another world:
A world of wonders - worry-less,
So far away...

How come it seems so far?
Where did it go?
Or
Where did WE go? !

Innocent we were,
No Hate, no Bitterness.
Happy playing - 't seems
A Paradise.

But one Mistake!
One Dream: Grow up.
Never we had expected
Such a close!

Now we struggle.
A Dream turned to Misery
A Nightmare of a special kind
Which we cannot escape.

Oh, had we known!
We'd never wished!
Now all that's left
Are Memories bewitched.
