I am Lisa*
Youth is a good thing I guess,
unless --
It becomes the lens
through which you are seen.
Then --
Your ambitious ideas are
youthful, not wise
Your wittiness is
immaturity, not humor
Your springy-step is
young bones, not joy in living.
Youth is a good thing I guess,
but better, *authenticity.
I am who I am, 20 or 60.
My age affects me,
but my age isn't me.
I am who I am.
