A Poem by David McNeeley

I want to be back where I was
But where I was isn't were I belong
I want to get better
But what does better mean?

I've seen others in my spot before
I've seen them turn there lives around
But I've been trying to do that since I was born
And what I desire is always just beyond reach

I wish there were a place i could go and just search
I wish there were people who would pay me, to be
But wishes aren't horses,
And horses ain't worth much anymore,
So what would I need a horse for

Do you love me?
Would you come back if you knew love waited here?
Did you ever feel the same as me?
Does love factor into your ten year plan?

There was a reason I worked before
But now that reason's gone
Bridges burned and lost long ago
But there is a reason I burned it to the ground

I keep thinking that it's so important to return,
And I keep thinking about what they think,
But now I know it matters not,
Whether they were with me or against

I may have welcomed darkness before
But now I understand the difference
Between the shade and the Night
One offers coolness and refuge and the other hope for light
