I fear not growing older

Due dying from old age

In a world of constant cycles

Nothing is eternal

I fear not growing older

Due to eventual death

Death is unpredictable

And can happen at 2, 20, or 200.

I fear growing older

Due to aging of my spirit

Will I still be wild and free

When I'm the mother of two

I fear growing older

Due to responsibilites of life

I'm not ready to give up me

To take on society's expected roles

I fear not growing older

That itself is inevitable

I fear how I grow older

And who I become when I do
