Nostalgia
The feeling of longing for something known.
Nostalgia;
the warm feeling tugging your chest when you slip into memory lane and remember yesterday.
Yesterday, I was 5 turning 6 and celebrating my birthday in school,
not to mention that I lost a tooth.
Yesterday, I was 9 and on my way to burden school.
Yesterday, I was 12 and learnt that school wasn’t cool… the hard way.
Yesterday, I was 13 and began my induction into womanhood.
Yesterday, I was 16; happy but missing, lost in a world of fantasy.
Yesterday, I was 17,dainty and still trapped, didn’t know that I could escape if I would.
Yesterday, I was 17 and you can say that I learnt my lesson.
Yesterday, I was 18, learning about adulthood and trying to understand what adult do.
Yesterday, I was 19, at the last stage of teenage wound seeking liberty from tragedy.
Today I am 20,learning to start, all over again.
Today you are how old?
And how about you?
