Where I’ve Been

Before

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

It doesn't seem to matter where I go

Where I head

Or where I stand

All that ever seems to matter is where I've been.

I left there so long ago

That I can't recall what it looked like

Nor how to get back

But everyone asks me where I'm from

Not where I am

Or where I'm going

How can man escape

The place that he has been

When that's all anyone ever cares about
