Old Soul

𝓱𝓪𝔂𝓵𝓮𝓲𝓰𝓱

I feel the ache

start to spread,

I hear the crowd

and I'd shoot them dead

if only I weren't

so wrecked in the head.

 

I wanna live

a life I can love,

but you that I 

nor the angels above

can save me now

and I have hurt myself.

 

I feel like

I'm forty-five,

I talk like

my mind is part of the hive,

I'm living like

already I have died.

    A most interesting poem of age perception. They say your are only as old as you think you are. Nice
