Now that I am old
I no longer wish
To solve the world’s problems
Let someone else worry
I want to gaze at the stars late at night
Watch the sun rise early in the morning
Grow flowers in my garden
Dance alone in my living room
And not care if anyone sees me
I no longer wish
To please anyone but myself
Instead, I will eat chocolate in bed
Watch movies in the dark
Wear red shoes and a green polka dot dress
Read the end of the story before the beginning
I will be the self I dreamed of being
When I was young and new to life
I will make the rules and not follow them
This is my world
I create it every day as I wish it to be
