We grow old judging others<br />And ourselves<br />Until life humbles us<br />And makes scared children of us<br />Longing to hold another’s hand<br />To hear their kind words <br />And witness their kind deeds <br />done on our behalf.<br />But like children,<br />We sabotage everything<br />For nothing satisfies us<br />Until life crumbles us<br />And we are no more.
