Nov 2015
i am young and old
i wonder what life has in store for me
i hear the pattering feet of mini me's
i see my face aged with wrinkles, arms full of babies
i desire a family
i am young and old
i pretend to be happy
i feel longingly for my future
i touch the new skin of my babies feet
i worry my children will hate me
i cry for the mother i never had
i am young and old
i understand i still have a life not lived
i say i'll love you with every breath i take
i dream of the first time you're in my arms
i try to be strong for you
i hope to be the mother i never had
i am young and old
