I am an old soul.

I have seen too much,
too much death,
too much pain,
too much fighting.

I grew up too fast,
plagued by sorrow.
Once you find it,
truly experience it,
you recognize it
everywhere..
and I found it early.

There are no surprises
anymore;
it is all just a matter
of time.

Yes, I know it.
I am an old soul,
and I am begging you
to make me feel
new again.
