As Each Day Goes By Mitochondria conspire within me Insiduously Sparking off free radicals They eat my flesh in a gnawing rage Inevitably, pushing me to age. I'm still a young and feisty soul With a zest for life and set goals I long to understand life, I want to ride across continents and run from pit to peak, I want to meet new people, See new cultures And move the masses... But there are other things For which the time has passed Time slipped by, just too fast. Age is like true love, Of course I'll never get it! Until it smothers me on the sly Leaving me with shriveling skin and a drying heart Rickety knees and a frying mind So Age isn't just a number But surely, a phantom future It'll someday be the present I brighten it now by living it up For I'm as aged as my thoughts As old as my deeds I'll keep them youthful And let the phantom age. What a coincidence... my 24th birthday approaches! :D... Kidding. That has nothing to do with it.
