Right For Wrong – Written Approx. Late 1993 or January 1994 (Aged 18)

Right For Wrong

Holding the time,
travelling back in time,
remembering
how things used to be—
hating you,
hating me.
Getting older,
changing;
feeling people,
falling for people—
people you never
used to like.
Now you are changing,
and the views
you once had
no longer seem
to be right.
I remember
being younger,
the time I called out
at night.
Then I wriggled free.
It hurt,
but my eyes were open,
and I started
to see.
Now you have come along,
and thankfully,
I have worked out
right from wrong.

James Garratt – 1993/1994
