One of the best poems i've read , its deffinetly something everyone can relate too while growing up i like it alot :)

this is a really good peom. Most people waste their childhood dreaming about the future but once the future comes they are stuck dreaming about the childhood they wish they had

Captured what you were going for really well! i loved it...

wow. this is an amazing piece. i think a lot of people (including myself) can't wait to be "grown up" but the moment they realize they are...they wish for the innocence of childhood again! you did an unbelievable job capturing all the emotion and writing it perfectly :) the flow was amazing. the content was awesome! 5 stars!!! :) check out some of my work if you could, i would really appreciate your opinion. once again...im stunned by this piece! :) BRAVO!

Excellent job! Keep it up...

i love this poem sooooo much im just 16 sooo i think you made me realize that the age i am now should not be wasted on wanting to grow up and just let myself be a kid

well well well.. good job good job... i was just thinkin how i wish i could be a kid again... wen i was a kid couldn waqit to griw up....

i can rele understand what you mean in this piece...cause well it's like it really is true cause honestly none cares bout life or matter of fact childhood..cause if your a child then all you want to happen is for you to grow up the very next day... so i really like this piece....good job...

That's exactly how I feel! From writer to writer, your poem spoke to me. :)
