There Was a Time

There was a time When I was young Playing games, making jokes, laughing There was a time When my parents once cared Before I grew up There was a time When the sun would shine It seems lately darkness has overlapped my life There was a time When I was strong Ask any man in Billow's County But now I'm old Not as strong as I used to be They try to keep me locked away There was a time when I was free That unfortunate day Leaving me only myself, locked away

Man, I hope its not like that. I'm only thirteen, and I'm counting on things to be better then they are now. I like the repetition in your work. Keep the poems coming, I like your style. ~Jen~
