Nostalgia Poem

My school had a poetry competition called "November Nostalgia" and I ended up submitting my poem and it's actually being published in our school paper! I was really excited so I thought I would share it on this category.

It's called Drown and it's kinda cringe! Anyways you can read it below if you want

Nostalgia knows me

She watched me grow

She cradled my face in her hands

And when she kissed my head, it was warm

As she pushed my head under, all I could see was her face

Her eyes turned down on me, merciful and kind

Kinder and infinitely more forgiving than World had been to me

I let the water into my mouth

And all I knew was my body

No longer weighed down by the grotesque nature of age

Suddenly my skin didn't sag and stretch 

Young and full of promise

Static in the Before

I stayed there, just like that

I breathed water in and out like air

While Nostalgia towered over my tired body

She knows me
