All My Candles

Why go through the drawers?
Things have mellowed out
Before

Spent my teens afool
Let my mother down
Few days
No school

Was there more I could have done?
Maybe left the race I'd won
Did I miss the last train home?
Too late
To change
Or stay the same
Stay the same

Was there more I could have done?
Thirty days are still a month
All my candles weigh as none
Too late
To change
Or stay the same
Stay the same
