Time Travel

A Poem by That1Nerd23
"

This is for everyone of my friends on here and from Mibba & Imesh back in the day.

"

I’m going back into time,

Year 2008.

Computer in hand,

Lives at stake.

 

My past is full of broken hearts,

Masquerades,

Blood and scars,

The cutter’s mistakes.

 

Year 2008,

That’s the year everything happened

That was the year people were less afraid

To divulge their secrets and their shame.

 

I could imagine as I spoke,

To the people on the other side of my screen,

That tears were splattered on their keyboards

The release.

 

“Your life is yours alone!”

“You are enough.”

I would protest with cloudy eyes

Hoping they would listen.

 

I used to save lives.

What happened to my purpose?

Year 2010,

I got my first boyfriend

 

With boyfriends come a lot of rules.

I was grounded a lot.

My computer was snatched from me,

With every rule broken.

 

That’s where I went.

My priorities changed.

I left all my internet friends

To be consumed by boys.

 

I began to forget my worth,

Lost track of my talents.

I was a damn good writer,

In my eyes at least.

 

I’m back.

Time traveling for a bit,

Just to collect some data.

Hello world.

 

Things pick up here.

It's good to look back on the past and realize how far we've come. And all those experiences in between will just add to your renewed writing endeavor. :) You had me reflecting as well. Good stuff.

Is Steven the dude who is always claiming to be "the president of black people"? That fellow amuses me.
