Where Are They Now? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I...
Am not the same,
As...
I use to be.
And...
Where are those use to be's,
People believed...
Would never leave.

No I...
Am not the same,
As...
I use to be.
No I'm not.
And I...
Hope I'll never, ever...
Remain,
Unchanged...
To stay the same.

I...
Am not the same,
As...
I use to be.
And...
Where are those use to be's,
People believed...
Should never leave.

And where are those,
Use to be's...
People believed,
Would never leave.

Where are they now?
Those use to be's...
People believed,
Would never leave.

And where are they now?
Where are they?
Those use to be's,
People believed,
Would never leave.

Where are they now.
Where are they?
Those use to be's,
People believed...
Would never leave.
