Does this make sense? can u see a meaning to it?

Question

I wish it could be how it used to be

how I used to be so happy never acting like

everythings coming down crashing

being kids not having to do their way

it was my way, and i felt so free

and now its like everything is lost with a hurtful cost

how you get used and dumped

with your emotions all tangled up

it breaks you, shakes you, lets you know

things are never what they seem

you always have to watch your back cuz

you never know when you'll get stabbed

yea its crazy but you better hope it will never come back

I wish it could be how it used to be

always running,

running hard like there was somewhere I had to be

I'm running through the woods not knowing where I'd go

trying to get myself lost so I wouldn't have to know

the truth behind all these lies.

Answer 1

It's a very interesting poem. To me, it sounds like it should be a rap... Good job!

Answer 2

I can see a meaning to it. the fact that the rhythm is fast and not perfect and exact suggests a feeling of despair and frustration, things I have felt too many times.

Answer 3

*looks both ways then back at the screen* "Stop readin' my mind!"

It makes a LOT of sense to me, being used by so called "friends" and just wishing things were back to when everything was easy as a kid.

This line really got me:

"trying to get myself lost so I wouldn't have to know

the truth behind all these lies."

I was hurt bad by a 'friend' not to long ago, so yeah I can really relate to what this poem is saying. . .but we gotta move on even if its hard, easier said then done, boy don't I know that. But when a true friend comes along its like all those sinking feelings fade and the heart seems to heal=)

Answer 4

yeah... it's a nice poem, in its own way.
