The tears on my face
Are memories engaged
Brought by a wind
Of moments forever unique
Nostalgia drives you insane
It wakes up the beast inside you
Who collects memories like sea shells
And plants them deep in the earth
Nostalgia steals the hope of your dreams
Changes the mind of the child
Who only knew of white clouds in the sky
Only knew of rainbow and sunshine
Nostalgia makes you realize
The past is in the past
Will hold you as you breathe your last
The future ahead of us
Nostalgia doesn't recognize grief or worry
It combines them and creates a story
Of the girl who lost her mind
And only knew her grandparents happy
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
That wants to kill your soul
Taking every happy moment of the future
Turning it into an unbearable youthness
Nostalgia has a way with words
It prettifies your traumatic childhood
Only because you had your vulnerability
Only because of unawareness of cruelty
Nostalgia makes you remember
Happy times are not forever
But they worth a million wishes
They deserve your million tears
Nostalgia doesn't have a face
It appears in every form or shape
It is cruel and drives you insane
Yet again the satisfied smile is actually a sign
Nostalgia is a sign
You will forever have in your heart
Reminding that "Hey! Life is actually worth it "
" Life shouldn't cause a headache "

- Comment from author about the poem: I think nostalgia is one of the feelings that tortures me every single day ! My childhood is the best years of my life .The innocence the freedom everyone was healthy ahh I miss it! I don't believe I do her justice with this poem to be honest maybe in the future I will write something better

The good old days?
Or for some - the bad old days.
Well even for me some were pretty bad as I mentioned this "traumatic childhood" in my poem ! But the good ones really stayed in my mind
This is fantastic. You capture the longing for better days.
Thank you so much Thomas!!
