back when we were young
in the deep lit trees
of the forests where we strung
wire.... from tree to tree
anything so we'd feel free
and it always seemed so complete
we were home among the trees
among the people and the things
that were never really there
but we were happy with the fact
that we never really cared
and we'd imagine our town
with our stores all around
and we'd dream up our lives
with husbands and wives
content in our plans
disregarding all our parents
"can and cant" 's
and it always seemed so complete
we were home among the trees
among the people and the things
that were never really there
but we were happy with the fact
that we never really cared
and we knew we built it ourselves
we dreamed up a world so empty and free
we never bothered to delve
into what it really means
in the world in our minds
life always seemed so simple
with control over the skin of time
our worries were barely a dimple
and it always seemed so complete
we were home among the trees
among the people and the things
that were never really there
but we were happy with the fact
that we never really cared

i cursed very loudly when i noticed that there is now a poetry categoy called emotive poetry.... i cant stand that shit . the good poets, frost, etc. never wrote about cutting themselves... im just happy other people can see more than negativity in modern poetry...

"disregarding all our parents

I think it would sound better if it was 'can't and can's or something like that.
