Making Me Old
Still in my prime-
yet I feel too old.
Your games are making me old,
aging me before my time.
My body hurts from all this
that you do.
Don't know when I'll break,
but it'll be soon.
I can't keep bottling everything,
keep everything hidden-
so I don't appear weak;
because it's making me old.
You don't seem to see
the effect you have on me-
turning a blind eye to me
is all that you do.
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
