Michael Shepherd - The Pain Of Not Being You

2014-11-07 1

How can you say,
I never felt in possession of my life
until this moment, to
someone who has not felt
the each, the both?

or, I shall remember this moment
for the rest of my life
not for what it is but
for what it may yet mean?

a lifetime with a pen
may alleviate this pain
somewhat
while I write
