[P] Old enough
3 AM THOUGHTSHow old are you?
They would ask,
Their wrinkled eyes
meeting my young ones
For a moment,
I would be urged
To answer
I'm old enough,
I whisper to myself,
To know that a broken heart
Is better than
An empty one
Old enough to know
That being lost and struggling
Is better than
A died down flame
Old enough to know
That time is precious
And it is not to be
Wasted
But as they look at me
I realize that I
Am not old enough
To know everything
So I smile and
Bow down to them
Answering their question
With sincerity
I'm 18, I say, 18
And counting
