Sorry about writing another illness poem but this is a reply to Jackie Huntington's poem of "I want it back".
I am 33 years old.
I am not young
in my body parts.
Was NOT young
back when I was
20 years old
either!
My breasts sag,
I have circles
under my eyes,
My feet hurt
when I walk,
My knees pop,
My left elbow
is swollen,
My left wrist
is dislocated,
and I pop it
everyday.
You do NOT have to be
40-50 years old BEFORE
your body parts start
to wear out!
I would like to have it back,
Yes, but then I would be a child again, and I would not want that.
