Traveled far
traveled wide
But never traveled
in my time

Wasn’t present
to the life I lived
Didn’t exist
where I should have been

Missed so much
my mind away
It still escapes
to this day

Hey! Also, just an fyi that I sent you two messages in Soup Mail. Just in case you didn't realize it. But not rushing you to ready them. I only mention it because I often miss these types of notifications myself. Sometimes for months! lol

Thank you! No, not all photos that I use are mine. I wish PoetrySoup had a way to give credit to the photographer, whether or not it is me. All they do is ask to agree that the photo is either mine or from a free service like UnSplash. Should I add a note to the very bottom of each photo to note this? PoetrySoup requires users to first upload the photo to our profile's photo area. And only then can I use a photo for a poem. And in that photo area, I think I do give credit for each pic. Not sure how best to note this. You know?
