Even Way Back Then

"Even Way Back Then"
~ ~ ~
I wonder if maybe
I understood to early
If the hurt made too much sense
To me
~
I'm no genius
There's no Einstein here
But knowing ever too early
That's something I fear
~
Should I wonder that
Should it make me afraid
And has that fear impacted
The decisions
I've made
~
If a person
Understands at thirty
I suppose that is normal
But that's not me
~
A freak who understood the bleak
Understanding at ten
Too soon
Even way back then
