I’ve been feeling my age lately,

my skin cut into too many times

trying to fix

what’s broken inside me.

My eyes need more water now,

and I feel the aches

more than I used to.

I find myself wanting more from life—

things that matter

while I still have the chance,

a kind of love

that stays.

I feel more honest

in what I say I want.

And I know what I want.

I’m trying not to lose

the childlike heart I hold,

but everything feels

a little heavier,

a little louder.

And life—

it’s forcing me to begin again.

Maybe that’s part of it,
