sleeping dogs

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

today, while driving a boy waved to me,
i didn't know him and
i'm sure he didn't know me, but
i started thinking,
that boy used to be me,
riding my bike,
wearing my hat backwards,
my fishing pole tied to the handlebars,
what happened to that little boy?
was it all the booze or the women or
the rejection from others,
that made me hide inside myself?
when did the loneliness begin?
those answers i guess are somewhere
back there,
in those places in the mind so few 
will venture,
i think sometimes it's better
to let sleeping dogs lie,
or we'll all go mad trying
to change the past......
