Life by E Sumpter

~☆Life☆~

Life is set in wrinkles~these wrinkles are divine..

They carry me across this land~these wrinkles are all mine.

Have I learnt a lesson?~I think its safe to say..

I think I've learnt a lesson or two.. every fucking day!

Do I feel I've made it?

Made it? What? Where to?

This life is just a journey for only me to do.

Life is filled with figures ~they come and go like trains,

Some come upon your journey, and others slip like grains.

Did I buy a sports car? Did I own a house?

Do I give a material fuck?

No..not a single ounce!

I gave myself to children ~I have marks apon my skin,

I gave them all the love I could , and hold them deep within!

Life is one big party~ or so I heard it said..

Not sure i could rave on all these years~ I do quite like my bed!

But where's my bed? Not here or there..to rest my weary skin,

I'd have liked to be a nomad and travelled with my kin.

I hope I have learnt a thing or two, through all the years I've had,

To see my children learn from me ,would really make me glad.

Even if they see my faults or where I didn't do well..

I hope they make the most of it and not "muum~what they hell?"

My weathered skin and aged lines ~they're all across my face,

I've learnt from me and only me ~ that I enjoy this place!

So here i am at (nearly)42.. struggling to get on,

But now I know that I can cope.. and that I am quite strong!

I need not worry if I can~coz I've done alot before..

But now I need some reassurance ~to make a whole lot more!

Self belief and my self worth~will push me higher still,

Not doing jobs that make me wanna ring and say "I'm ill ".

I've got my talents~ I've got my flair..

I cannot fold more underwear!

This is my life and I will give,

as I always have ~ so I can live.

But its not enough~I need my power..

Its time to bloom you aged flower 🌼

I have learnt lessons, I've struggled through shit,

It is not time to chill and sit.

Build a kingdom~ build it well..

Coz life is short and time will tell!!👊✌
