I’m 21 ..

By Ariadne Oct 27, 2016

I’m 21 ..

I’m 21 my head says,
but my body won’t agree.
I limp along, I’m deaf as a post,
and I can barely see.

I’m 21 my mind recalls
when I would dance all night,
drink like a fish and never be sick,
and party until it got light.

At 21 my heart would thump,
my eyes would sparkle and “simmer”
when loving and laughter filled all of my life.
now it’s just me and this flaming  Zimmer.

At 21 my heart would race
I felt nor saw any fear.
Yes I still do all the same things,
but now in a lower gear.
