~old~

[neverwas]

the blossom starts falling
like white bits of snow.
the clouds turn grey
the sky it darkens.
young and old
for some reason
are today a-glow.

fragile verses the solid.
pain in the necks become in need of pain relief.
perfect figure and perfect skin.
turns to sunken and saggy
wrinkles over the skin.

you cant avoid in inevitable.
for soon we will all be old.
some are older and some are younger.
some are wiser and some are stupider.
me? im just an innocent person avoiding...

running in reverse.
away from the growing old.

outside an old woman walks...

outside a young girl runs...

inside a girl grows another year older...

inside...

she closes her eyes
and begins to run.

i really understood and enjoyed this. i am 27 years old, and just this year i began looking/feeling my age. my face is starting to look worn, my body can't take alll that it used to. it's been somewhat traumatic actually. the wisdom i have gained is far more important than the youth i have lost though. i just try to remember that when i get carded the store or when i look around at all the faces 10 years younger then me in my classes.

thanx guys i really appreciated knwoing that im not the only one who's feeling this way this peice was inspired by the fact its my birthday soon...and im ebginning to feel myself gettng old...or maybe thats just paranioa but this is the second part i wrote last night while out drinking...




she looks in the mirror
and what does she see?
wrinkles and lines
old age is approaching
everyone can see.

what happened to the girl
that use to dance and spin?
so young, yet feeling so old.
so beautiful
yet feeling grim.

they say "you're only as old as you feel"
i feel like im 40 in a 23year old body...

neglecting the fact
that one day...

a walking frame will re-place my feet.

so very well said. where is that damn fountain of youth when you need it?

^^^ tibercross: i often wonder that myself

i think someone drunk it all before i could get to it...

*sighs*


i think gettin old has been on my mind a fair bit lately...specailly with my dad not getting any younger and living away from me..

just last night i was contemplating the fact that i will NOT LIVE FOREVER, and my time is limited. yes, we all understand that. but i was giving it some thought and the fact really disturbs me. turns my stomach. and i'm only 24. 40 more years really isn't that long.

 

[up all night]

Wow nice work hon.

Yesterday I got so old I felt like I could die...

*nods* i think bout things like this all to much sometimes...i think of growing old as a joyfull thing when i can look back over my lfie and refelct on my lved ones and friends...but then i also see growing old as growing lonely

why?

maybe because i havent found that thing that makes me feel young at heart.

not nessecarily a guy...but just that thing that makes me tick...makes me feel alive...

my dad asked me once what i thought growing old meant...i replied..."i see growing old as somthing where i can sit with a close friend and grow old with them. not alone"

see...now im thinking to much again

up all night: thanx babe
