ON AGING-Maya Angalou
When you see me sitting quietly
Like a sack left on the shelf
Don't think I need you chattering
I'm listening to myself
Hold! Stop! Don't pity me!
Hold! Stop your sympathy!
Understanding if you got it
otherwise ill do without it!
When my bones are stiff and aching
And my feet wont climb the stair
I will only ask one favor:
Don't bring me no rocking chair.
When you see me walking, stumbling,
Don't study and get it wrong.
'Cause tired don't mean lazy
And every goodbye ain't gone.
I'm the same person I was back then.
A lot less hair, a little less chin,
A lot less lungs, and much less wind
But ain't lucky I can still breathe in.
