Another Place, Another Time
In another place,
In another time,
I was happy,
Sadness didn’t exist in my world
I was taken care of,
I was truly loved
In another place,
In another time,
I remember,
When I was on a sail train,
With my siblings,
Going out onto the horizon of the sea,
Not knowing where I’d end up
Now,
I am stuck
In a world,
Where I am not happy,
My world revolves around sadness
My family,
My brothers,
My sisters,
Were taken away from me,
My only companion is myself
I have to stand on my own,
I’m young,
But I’m strong
I have the will,
I have the perseverance,
To succeed,
To get out of this world I live in
Yesterday,
That’s what it is,
That’s what it’s called,
That was in another place,
In another time
Today,
I am abandoned,
I am hurt
I have wounds,
Deep wounds,
In my heart,
That will not be able to heal
Tomorrow,
Everything will change,
I will find a way out,
I will escape,
I will go on a journey,
To answer my questions,
To answer my pleas,
If there was an answer,
I’d find it there
I can push myself,
I can make my life better,
I will thrive for the best,
I will rise up,
I will succeed
Sometimes,
I think that the world is a harsh place,
With all the poverty,
With all the loss,
With all the pain
But now,
I realize that it’s up to us,
We make our own decisions,
Those decisions,
Affect us,
We make choices,
That make our lives better,
Or make our lives worse,
I realize,
It’s up to me,
To change my own life
My moments,
Weak,
Or strong,
Are in the past,
In another place,
In another time
For now,
The rest is up to me
