Born Too Late

Not from this decade

Always feeling vaguely

Out of place


I look back

Not too far behind me

Then I see

Where I am truly

Meant to be


But it is somewhere

No one can go


It only exists

Within the memories

Of those old enough to know


Though I long

To live in my true time


I ought to be

Grateful for what

I've been given:


All that is now

Is mine
