Too Old?

poem by: Elizabeth Wallace
Written on Jul 30, 2014

I've always felt too old
Too old to play with dolls (too young to do homework)
Too old to go to bed at 8 0 clock (Too young to sleep with the light off)
Too old to fear the dangers inside (Too young to fear the dangers outside)
Too old to fight alone (Too young to approach for help)
Too old to believe in love (Too young to go without)
Too old to battle the ravishes of time (Too young to think of death)
Too old to think of the pursuits of sex but oh please god too young to go without it.
