another birthday gone by....

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

what happened
to me?
i'm getting
older,
the days
are shorter,
there never seems
to be enough 
time
to do all
the things
i want to..

looking in the
mirror..
i'm missing
three 
teeth,
all on the
left side,
never did
see
that right hook
coming,
somewhere
outside
some bar,
a long time ago....
my hands,
scarred,
stitched,
broken a few 
times,
my heart..
broken a few times
too..
put back together,
only to be
broken 
again
and 
again..but
its still there...

i'll never
give up
fighting
the inevitability
of..
gray hairs,
middle age,
a drunk asshole at 2 am,
or
picking up the pieces
of my heart,
again.....

Reason for writing:

    christ i'm only 32....i dont want to grow up..lol
