Who Might Have Known Me
by
J. M. Hallett
"Who might have known me had I lived
back then," he wonders, not wanting to
be living now. "Those that know me now,
cannot, for I forbid it," he mumbles, as
he sits alone at the playground’s edge.
Although, he is known to many, and all
too well, it would seem. "Would I have
liked myself back then? Would I have
been able to defeat bullies - been able
to vanquish them handily and save fair
damsels in distress," he wonders, as he
wipes the tears from his eyes, and the
blood from his nose and his swelling lip.
