smile | Who I am

Alright young lady get back up

And quit acting like u been hit by a truck

You have no need to feel so low

So let’s take the past and let it go

You don’t want your friends to think your numb

Or have them worry that you’re oh so dumb

You’re not a teen with plenty to do

You take care of a brother who leans on you

So thank your lucky stars today

That you can breathe another day.

I see people everywhere I am

Some ignore and some say hi

Others smile as they go by.

I have lived here all my life

Except a few years where I tried to do

Something in my life that was all brand new.

I feel like at my age, I should know

At least a few I pass along my way

But no, I do not see anyone on this day.

Where have all the people gone

Who used to be in my life

Married a husband, or maybe a wife.

Now, as I get older, I search

The obits to look and maybe see

Recognition of a name that used to be.

Where has all the time gone

Am I really as old as they say

In my mind, it says I am getting younger every day.

Who I am
