It approaches soon,

another day,

another year,

moving up an age.

One of my fears in life is

growing old.

No longer able to move around like I used to,

people tell me not to worry,

but how can I not?

When one day I know,

that I'll be looking at the babies,

kids,

teenagers,

young adults,

and think to myself,

that I used to be like them once.

I am truly terrified of growing up.

-A.C.B.
