If Only
by Mary Etta Metcalf
dreams flow through my head of days past
when youth could do no wrong…life wadreams s good
the freedom felt…the acts performed…were they wrong
how different life would have been…if only i had known
actions perceived…ideas run rampant…mind speeding on
falling into the trap only life seemed to know about
continuing on as if nothing was wrong…nothing at all
how different life would have been…if only i had known
things omitted in childhood…youth in the dark
as life raced forward as a speeding train out of control
and i asked…is there no end…where is the light
how different life would have been…if only i had known
i tried to put the breaks on…it broke in my hands
i cried at the fear that rose within me
groping my way through life…crying…what is going on
how different life would have been…if only i had known
