Body aching, joints creaking

Knees popping, neck cracking

I'm not old that I know of

Then why do I feel it everyday

~

Skin torn and itching

Wrinkles appearing on me

I'm not old that I know of

Then why do I feel it everyday

~

Shoulders scraping

Ankles twisting

I'm not old that I know of

Then why do I feel it everyday

~

But it's okay

Everything will be just fine

Because I'm my mind I'm still young

So I've got that going for me

~

You're only as old as you feel

That's what they say

I'm not that old that I know of

Then why do I feel it everyday

But that's fine, in my mind I still run pain free

Something that came to me in the midst of a bad bout of pain. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did then please leave a like, subscribe, and feel free to leave a tip. Till next time.
