It's Been Some While Poem by Dorthe Wisbech Clausen

It's been some while since
I was a child in
my town of birth

It's been some while since
I walked the street in
my town of youth
showing off my
famous swag

It's been some while since
I left the lights in
my town of love
sailing off to a newer
me

It's been some while since
I grew into more than I
ever knew
could be bigger
than my
famous swag in
my town of trial

It's been some while since
I said goodbye to the
loves of my life
and my famous swag is now
burried in
my town of memories

It's been some while since
I laid to rest the father of
my handful of lifes
too soon to ever
having known how
to forget

It's been some while since
I watched my loves grow
into more than they
ever knew
could be bigger
than the swag they were
hitting down the street where
the once young woman did her
style of living her life
