Too Young To Be Old

I am too young to be this old.
My eyes too dim from tears that could have flooded twenty lifetimes.
My shoulder too worn from carrying a truckload of experience as if from nine nine lifetimes.
My heart too heavy from bearing weights that could have crushed three lifetimes.
My soul too weary from searching for answers as if in twelve lifetimes.
My hands too weak from holding on to hope as if in seven lifetimes.
My feet too slow from running away from fears that could have chased eight lifetimes.
My lips too numb from whispering prayers as if in ten lifetimes.
My mind too exhausted from carrying the weight of memories as if in eleven lifetimes.
My smile too rare from laughter that could have filled fifteen lifetimes.
My story too unfinished from writing chapters as if in sixty lifetimes.
No! I am too young to be this old.
