1. Age is just a number A symbol written for time Ever slowly adding up Ticking ever constantly (slowly) more You’re older than you were before Building, gaining never waning Gradually growing Even now without knowing You’re plus a second now This number defines you Confines you Restricts you to what you’re allowed Everyone in that same crowd To what they can and cannot do The decision should be up to you Not to some random number Maturity, wisdom, knowledge, skill Should factor in to the decision But because a number adds precision Qualities just don’t cut it The number just a number Prevents you from the future Benchmarked yearly Though by thinking clearly You’re aging evermore Don’t look at how old I am But look at my maturity My soul gained age from experience And this should make a difference To what decisions are made
