Someone Said
Someone Said
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
You told me this when I was a child in
Need of some want.
A desire never shared with a
Friend
I’m not sure what you meant. Your meaning went
Sailing with the horse riding beggars.
Right now I feel as though I’m riding
Behind them.
Like a lost child trapped in
A grown-up body, unsure of what
Bridge was crossed or
Over what
Troubled past the
Water raged.
I cannot relinquish my fear,
Will my past to be different,
Ease the confusion of the scars
Your words left on my
Mind.
