Memories Poem by Amanda Austin

Wandering back to old memories
Wondering what it's like there now
Imagining, re-living my past
Wishing I could go back for good

How could I take everything for granted
Why was it not good enough before
Now I look back on who I was
Look back on where I grew up
I'm hit with a sudden wave of deprission

I now remember every street I walked
I recall every house I lived in, the memories...
I disect every friendship I once had
I re-live every happy time I recall

When did time get by me so fast
How has it been so long

As I'm getting lost in deep memories,
Pain rushes through my heart drowning everything around me out

I'm not really here, I can't be,
I shouldn't be, But I am
