Looking BackA Poem by Pen The WillowsI look back Into the past Into my past At the decisions I couldn't control
Maybe moving was the best for them But I truly believe That it wasn't the best for me That it wasn't the best for a lot of people
If we'd never come here If we'd stayed at my home If we hadn't left our lives behind If we had stayed where I kind of felt like I belonged
Maybe he'd still be alive He'd have realized how many people needed him to stay He would have found a way to live through it all I wouldn't have cried myself to sleep for a month
Maybe she wouldn't have gotten drunk I would've made an effort to keep her from getting sucked in An effort to keep her from being a typical cheerleader To try and help her make the right choices, even though she's older than me
Maybe he would have stayed in school He'd have seen the effects of dropping out He would have tried harder, to set an example for me He might have finished high school
Maybe I wouldn't be miserable so often Missing the sun, the warmth The smells, the sights, the sounds The feeling of jumping in a pool on a typical hot day
Maybe I'd be a better student A better daughter A better sister A better friend
But, then again, my life would be different I would be different I never would have met some people who have changed my life I might not be the person that I am today
An actress A poetess A musician An individual
Maybe moving was good Leaving the warm and dry for the cold and wet But I'll never know for sure And I'll always miss my home © 2010 Pen The Willows |
