i once was a true gem
buried in layers of dirt and sand
flawless in every way
but now its all going astray
as day in and out i am getting old
aging! getting old! oh, no
the once smooth gem is now creased
like freshly ploughed land out in the field
with wrinkles and flappy skin
i walk around with a drooping chin
i opted for botox, liposuction among other things
they all suck my suck purse dry
leaving me regretting for the rest of my old life
later on i realised
that aging is a blessing so divine
there is a time for everything so they say
why then defy time when aging is on its way?
we will all die, one time, one day
one by one our organ starts to delay
embrace aging as life is a process
experience it before being claimed by death
