Wrote this poem when I was 19

If I were me
Away from this daily strife
Hollow soul of a being they call life,
If I were me
I wouldn’t be
If I were me
I would see, every daylight on the
Horizon of another sea.
If I were me
I would break loose from this pain in vain
If I were me , I’d let my
soul spread it’s incandescence again
If I were me
I would be footloose on the unknown path
If I were me
I would leave forever but never depart
If I were me
I would be a tramp on a trail,
If I were me
I wouldn’t hide behind this materialistic veil.
If I were me
I wouldn’t be
If I were me
I wouldn’t see
things that don’t fill me with glee
If I were me
I would unroll the chart of time
If I were me
I would revert back to my prime
If I were me
But only if I were me
This wish as limitless as the sea
If I were me
I just couldn’t be
What I am today and what I may be
If I were me
I just couldn’t be.
