Growing Old Is Scary

Growing Old Is Scary

1 min
56


Sometimes change is not welcoming,

Some changes are unbearably painful:

Losing the innocence, immaturity, and inner rush,

Adapting to maturity, social evolution and sensible wisdom,

Are challenging and in no way welcoming;

Losing the charm of meaningless and reasonless friendship,

Upgrading to responsible and sensitive friendship,

Are not fun at all;

Missing stupid jokes and wide giggles,

Talking of wisdom and lessons learned,

Sound so gravely old!

Yes, the fear creeps in:

Is growing-up a bane or boon?

Where does this growth lead?

To ugly rotten heavy selfish secured living?

Or to blissful everlasting joyous wisdom/beauty?

Time and space are terrible villains:

They keep changing priorities;

They keep changing the very meaning!

They never give reasons,

They just play riddles,

Many riddles are left unanswered till the end...
