When the years of this life weigh me down, I take a step back and peel off the scales of age wrapping my young heart. My share of frown, tears, and thumbs down all hold me from jumping, reaching and touching the stars, and yet I still find stardust in my eyes.
My yesterdays are like cliffs, summits and waterfalls, but today feels like I am on a plateau, halfway between the peak and the pit. Still, I look up at the mountains and continue on my quest to conquer it.
Life they say is like a thief that steals away dreams and hopes and promises and futures. But I will not, I have a Shield, a Sword, and a Refuge with me. With hands fold and knees down, I pray with my soul to become a Knight that fights, never settles for less or wallows in defeat.
The stars are up there, and my feet below. Still my arms can stretch and my heels can push me upward.
I have wings unseen and the sky awaits me.
The years may drag me, the time crush or mend me. But I'll live with arms wide open, my palms up, my fingers all apart. My heart is never old.
