Stuck Poem by Alyssa Marquardt

I am helplessly stuck,
stuck in a world of two five year old kids.
One little girl and one little boy
They lived together and shared their toys.
I am stuck in this world of you and me.



I am helplessly stuck.
Stuck in a world of two seven year old kids.
Playing pokemon cards, and video games.
Playing Explorers and climbing trees.
I am stuck in this world of you and me.



I am helplessly stuck.
Stuck in a world of two nine year old kids.
Biking and having water fights.
Fighting for sleepover rights.
I am stuck in this world of you and me.



I am helplessly stuck.
Stuck in a world of two eleven year old kids.
Camping and swimming.
Watching movies and playing games.
I am stuck in this world of you and me.



I am helplessly stuck.
Stuck in a world of two thirteen year old kids.
Running around and playing ball.
Shooting hoops and playing cards,
I am stuck in this world of you and me.

Children are beaten and families are homeles.
Pets are neglected andn people are dying.
But the reason I keep crying
Is because I'm stuck in this world of you and me.

I wonder if you ever miss the times we shared
I wonder if you are even one bit aware.
That everyday I think of the kids we used to be,
And wonder if you're thinking of me.
Do our jokes and games ever retrace in your head?
They return to me everynight before I go to bed.
And no matter how much it brakes my heart,
No matter how much it tears me apart,
My thoughts of us make me feel so full
They give me excitement when my world is dull.
They send my heart an unbearable pain
that is completely impossible to explain.

If there is one thing you should know-
Its that our memories will never be let go.
And even as your whole world has rearanged,
My love for you has never changed.

It is completely terrifying that our life as children
Is coming to an end.
But it's ending in fulfilment with you as my best friend.


I'll never again be that little rainbow-eyed girl,
who was your only best friend.
But in this world she comes back to life
And her days with you never end.
So I guess that's why I love to be stuck.
Stuck in this world of you and me.
