Silhouettes stood dark and tall, I should have shut up once and for all. My mouth was sealed, no words were said. When spoken, they were empty words that went unheard. Age divided us. For this, I was mocked. My tongue was sharp so, I was flogged. I saw you live your dream all the time. I saw the importance, but what about mine? I saw people, I saw joy, I saw children play with toys. I wished for space, far from there. I wished for miles as far as light years. But I still asked myself, "Why was I there?"

A Memory
Silhouettes stood dark and tall, I should have shut up once and for all. My mouth was sealed, no words were said. When spoken, they were empty words that went unheard. Age divided us. For this, I was mocked. My tongue was sharp so, I was flogged. I saw you live your dream all the time. I saw the importance, but what about mine? I saw people, I saw joy, I saw children play with toys. I wished for space, far from there. I wished for miles as far as light years. But I still asked myself, "Why was I there?"
