What I said when I was young
I was young, and I said,
"I regret nothing of the past,
because it made me what I am,
and I like what I am."
But by the time I said it,
what I thought I was,
I was no more,
and I still wonder why
I didn't stay a while.
And where am I now?
Behind a pen somewhere,
writing words, on a train,
moving on to something else.
I am not what I was, nor will I be.
How then could I regret
what was said, or who I was?
