It all comes out at night….

It’s crazy how quickly life changes

and things get replaced

My teddy bear I clung on to became the man I love and hold on to at night

My barbies became my real life best friends

My twin became a stranger

My brothers and sisters became faded memories

My parents turned into “just friends”

and my nightmare became reality

I never wanted to be an adult

My poems still want to be published

The dreams I wrote down in my old notebook have been put away

I never wanted to stop chasing my dreams

I let go tears in memory of my childhood

My past friends

My family

My dreams

My life

All the new things that have taken the old spots will never make up for what i’ve lost
