When I Was Younger
when i was younger
no one told me –
about some of the pain –
that lay ahead
then again –
i did not know about the world
that exists beyond being dead
when i was younger
no one told me –
that i was a child star
or even that i was special
just like all children are
James Garratt – October 2005
