Life shrank into a deep silence,
Dreams collapsed under the weight of compliance.
A phase when freedom was all there was,
Laughter and joy untouched by any cause.
At a tender age, heaven was lived through dreams,
Innocent souls dreamed only in serene streams.
With a glow of hope in their eyes, they lived life joyfully,
Unaware of the hardships to come, they walked blissfully.
The tragedy began when they cried in secret,
Silent tears fell, hearts broken in regret.
They got trapped in this vast rat trap,
The faint shadow of the past became their trap.
They kept losing themselves, in search of finding themselves,
Lost in echoes of empty realms.
Lost the true joys of tender age, to chase happiness for a lifetime,
Dreams are abandoned just like poems rhyme.

I feel the pain here... Beautifully written!
Well written, Sk. I was enraptured by the depth of your word tangling within each other creating a web of unending sadness. Great work. I have subscribed to you.
This is heartbreaking and beautiful. It makes me feel compassion.
Beautiful... It's an emotional piece... Keep it up.
You surprised me; Thank you for uploading it... This poem beautifully captures the bittersweet transition from the innocence of childhood to the struggles of adulthood. " Lost the true joys of tender age, to chase happiness for a lifetime, Dreams are abandoned just like poems rhyme. " These lines are the nectar of the poem; mourning the lost tenderness of childhood in the pursuit of ambitions and happiness is neglected and abandoned just as the rhyme in the poem 👏🤝 You nailed it 💖 Keep it up, dear brother ☺✨
Keep going bravo
This is really thought-provoking and deep. Paired with the unsettling image, the poem of the crashed dreams as a result of growing up is even more powerful.
Made me fill up 🏆
Heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing.
So sad, definitely evokes emotion.
