A word for the wise
Said the old woman.
Her years did not subtract her kindness.
Her eyes glittering.
She whispered to me
Almost afraid the world would hear her warning.
Be careful she said.
I have spend decades in these 4 walls.
You don't get the time back.
You don't get your life back.
When my retirement comes
I have no friends left
No hobbies left
No fitness left.
What was it all for?
I take each word
And hold it tight.
I will not live a life trapped
Between 4 bare walls.
