Paul's Unofficial Remix Challenge
When did you last see the bright sky?
When did you last feel it's all a lie?
These are the burdens I'd die for
What is the sunset
If the gray clouds destroy
What you try to enjoy?
When did you last love until you died?
When did you last die to safe your loved?
These are eternal moments
Worth focusing
Remembering, celebrating
All of the wins and fails in the past
When did you last doubt your own presence?
When did you last look in the mirror
And question what you lived for?
As I grow older, I see my people aging
Too young to be tired
Too old to be child
Although I should not...

About the Creator
The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

Great remix poem for Paul’s challenge… ‘ As I grow older, I see my people aging Too young to be tired Too old to be child.’.. well said.
I agree with Paul, Anna, this is a wonderful poem, filled with power and feeling. I have enjoyed watching you mature as a poet and a writer the last few months. Really fine work!
Oh this is fab, Anna! Love the direction you went with this and the questions it raised. So many great lines. Well done and thank you for taking part in the craziness!
