Quandary of Subsistence

I am just a child

Yearning to run

Yet, still learning to crawl



Words come out

As I move my mouth

Yet the sound is so distant

The language of my town



Time went past

So very fast

My teeth are now

Covered in gold

Yet, I still feel

So very old



My skin is pale

My bones are frail

All my efforts are in vain



In the quandary of subsistence

I have lost my persistence

My rendition of an existence
