My Darkest Fear
When I am sitting here
I think about my darkest fears
Someday my fears will be here
Where I am in my reflection someday soon
My deepest fear is being old like a prune
Losing my parents and losing me
All the family I had around me I can’t see
Just memories etched in this old ladies mind
Thoughts of how life is unkind
I feel no different when I was a child
Too old, too tired, to get wild
Like this little girl trapped in a bigger body
It’s a shame I used to be a hottie
I don’t realize I am withering away
My mind, my soul, still wants to run and play
This body just wants to stay
The bones are too brittle
In pain I just move a little
My soul feels the same
My body gets all the blame
Soon it will be my turn to die
Join my family in the great big sky
This is my worst fear
It will soon be here
