False Reality of Yonder Years

The simplicity of childhood is a warm blanket that envelopes you with nothing but a façade of joyful memoirs and unwavering nostalgia. Deep down, you know there were trying times but now you’re blinded looking back on all the years and seeing nothing but a budding knowledge and a few passing smiles and this… this fabricated jovial feeling. This forged pleasure, it gets you drunk on yesterday. You realize that the good times outweighed the bad, even if in all honesty, they didn’t. If it doesn’t appear to you as such, then you are still healing and you are still young.

one can reminisce in days when we giggled non-stop and all the baggage was 'chocolate box' in the fridge.

Lovely poem. Even if I'm only twelve, I still do experience nostalgia looking at photos and things. I really felt your emotion while reading this poem. Great work Tiffany. :)

its complicated
i think its our thinking that in childhood we enjoyed life but its not teue coz facts are against it.childhood is very difficult days in humen lifes

[Mila]

Short but no less true. I think you basically summarized the human existence from infancy to adult hood, and how it either shifts or stays the same. Well done!

Thank you for a wonderful piece! You are so right.

Thank you for sharing. :)

This was an interesting and though proving piece. Many have forgotten the bad to only remember the good. Well done.

Hello Tiffany, a sad but a very true statement, even up to know
Some people tries to relive their childhood dreams or what not through their children. Love the way you write this as is.
Very cool thanks.

Wow!
Very well written and it touched me,
Can I just say though, you have potential!
My favorite part was, "This forged pleasure, it gets you drunk on yesterday."
Please continue to write and read!
Can you by chance look at my story The Blonde Girl, It would really mean a lot to me.
Your new fan,
