35

i promised to never tell my true age
i was looking and noticed its right on my allpoetry page
i just want thirty five to never come
i feel older every time my kids call me dumb
they want to know why i dont remember integers
often they talk of big words
i try to tell myself it is just in my head
age doesnt matter it is whats in your heart instead
i now have to say what bull shit
i only agreed because i was young when it got said
i may have to change my name because i cant be 35 yet
i feel much younger in my head
i still share clothes with my teen girls and they borrow my things too
i cant be thirty five say it isnt true
maybe i will go to europe and try my luck over there
no one should notice my age they will just be glad i shave my underarm hair
35 how can this be
i still feel as frisky as a teen
i refuse to turn the age my mother was when someone said she looks older than that
im not going to become middle aged and that is that
i am going to apply for a new birth certificate and everyone will see
i will lie and say im 23
no one is going to know that i ever almost became 35
no one will tell me i am as long as im alive
so when i turn 35 in a few months dont say a word to me
just remind me how great i look at 23
