What Happens to the Aging Mind?

A Poem by Emily Denise

Thin pink walls keeping the beasts at bay

Ocean puddles to help drown your sorrows while you splash in them

Thick in the leaves you played in when you were small

Is this where you will find youth and the answers to adult problems

Usually simple

Less complicated than the question.

Why is that?

What happens to the aging mind?

We make things so difficult.

We forget about how transparent life really is.

If you want something, go get it.

Learn to stand up for yourself.

Be the person you want to be, but better.
