When I'm Older. . .

[Absinthe]

When I'm older.....
I'll spend my mornings reading poetry
A mug of that bitter sweet liquid in hand
I'll walk around barefoot, wear pajamas all day
and write peacefully, without interruption

When I'm older.....
I'll spend my days basking in the glory of life
A smile on my face, trying to forget hard times
I'll be happy with it all forevermore
No longer will I long for yesterday, but I shall venture to tomorrow

When I'm older.....
I'll spend my nights in peace
No longer sleeping restlessly without dreams
I'll thank God for my blessings
and no longer be angry at the man

When I'm older.....
I will let myself live
No longer will I be afraid
I'll see the future as bright
My pain will be lifted

When I'm older......

Good job. I sense pain of the present but an optimistic out look on the future. Very nice strong poem!

[glow=purple,2,300]Well said Sara Amanda, I agree with that. [/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]This part gave me the impression that your (or rather, the narrator's) life isn't as calm and peaceful as you'd like it to be.

This was a lovely read. Thank you. [/glow]

"This part gave me the impression that your (or rather, the narrator's) life isn't as calm and peaceful as you'd like it to be."

Exactly right. I'm glad you picked up on that. I left subtle hints in this piece about many different things and I'm glad that someone seems to be getting it.

When I am older... nice touch... optomistic about the future, nuetral about the present.,... i like it...
