my limbs feel weaker
lines creasing deeper
annual cycles coming faster
i beg this deterioration slows
now possessing a stronger mind
owning a wisdom a long time coming
i’ve fully grown into myself
feeling fully human
and grounded
i know who i am
my limbs feel weaker
lines creasing deeper
annual cycles coming faster
i beg this deterioration slows
now possessing a stronger mind
owning a wisdom a long time coming
i’ve fully grown into myself
feeling fully human
and grounded
i know who i am

<3 I could have but I wanted to finish out the form, and the gist of it was more to highlight the mental state during the phases of aging.

I hope you don’t think I was criticizing! It’s just that those first lines hit home. (I’m in my 80’s, so I know all about aging! 😏)
