With An Aged, Wise Mind

I too had been confined... In a youthful body, With an aged, wise mind. It seemed as if I was older than most. Sure, I played games with my peers then. Though bored to tears... Doing things kids did. I grew to feel unusual. Like an 'ET' from out of space. Whenever the opportunity came to play hide and seek... I went to a neighborhood variety store, To speak to the owner... About 'stuff' that was out of other children's reach. And when I was done, The 'kids' would ask me where I hid! I laughed and told them anything. Just to watch their faces... That were so inquisitive. I understand that mind one has... Growing and trapped behind eyes so young. And I have no advice to share for someone like that. Since I'm sure they will not be ignored. Dedicated to: Risha Ahmed Cochin, India 'Risha... Keep your patience. You are blessed with a gift of expression. AND, at age 'eleven'? ...you have nothing but more of your 'brilliance' to share.'
