As I Get Older

Feb 17

As I get older

My back starts to hurt
My knees tend to lock up
My eye begins to twitch

I have aches and pains
In joints I took for granted

Muscles sprain and tighten
Just from doing
The bare minimum
Of what they were intended to do

As I get older
I feel pain
From simply existing

So thank you

For showing me at such a young age
How painful existance can be

For when you left,
I hurt

But through that hurt,

As I got older,
I grew stronger

Even through the pains
Of growing
