Heck, aging wasn't bothering me until I found out people were noticing!
THE DAY REALITY SET IN
I have always been comfortable with aging
I was only as young as I felt
Even though my hormones stopped raging
And I wasn't so trim and svelte
I thought I seemed young for my age
I still listen to hip hop and rock
But today at the store in conversation engaged
Reality was swiftly unblocked
The cashier asked me if I was okay
She wondered if I need help
Sure, I may have looked tired today
But I certainly can fend for myself
The spring in my step may seem like a shuffle
My breath may be tinged with a wheeze
I may seem a bit stooped and lack some true hustle
And my grey hair has been mussed by the breeze
Though I appreciate the compassion
Her courtesy caused me no harm
I may be moved to an act of aggression
If a boy scout offers his arm!
