A Poem
Been A While
Just a memory now
Guess I walked away
Or ran like a jailbird
Get outta here free, kid
Funny little glimpses
That world, going on
Without me
Just the same as always
It'll always be there
In my head
Bittersweet, Unchanging
Like the world can't be
Think I'll keep it
Locked away
With the others
My own little picture show
No, it isn't quite real
Sepia tinted
With my idealism
Think I'll keep it that way
Just a memory now
Guess I walked away
Or ran like a jailbird
Get outta here free, kid
Funny little glimpses
That world, going on
Without me
Just the same as always
It'll always be there
In my head
Bittersweet, Unchanging
Like the world can't be
Think I'll keep it
Locked away
With the others
My own little picture show
No, it isn't quite real
Sepia tinted
With my idealism
Think I'll keep it that way
