Sometimes
Nathaniel Hackey 1983 (Madrid)
Sometimes I remember
Others I want to forget
But it's that struggle
That helps it live on
It happens more than I'd like to admit
Sometimes I daydream
Though I seem lost
I'm happy where I am
For it's what happened
That made me into this man
Sometimes they all walk away
Never look back
Or just visit to revisit
But I know what I am
No matter how close
Or distant
Sometimes I'm the better man
Sometimes is better than never
About this poem
You'll have to look within to get the answers you never hear from anyone else
