Once
I was a child
Childish
games I did play
Carelessly
Ignoring
waning days
Once
I stood in manhood
Confident
strong and blind
Foolishly
Leaving
innocence behind
Once
I was a lover
Roaming
wild and free
Thoughtlessly
Hurting
those who loved me
Once
I was a pilgrim
My
days I did wander
Squandering
All
that life did offer
Once
I was a dreamer
Now
I just remember
Recalling
The
things that never were
Once
I was somebody
Now
I’m just nobody
Realizing
I
never was…
