I think I must have been born tired and weathered and aged
A little girl three going on thirty they would say
Big eyes, weary eyes,
The weight of the world
Did I ever have the joy of naive
youthfulness?
Was I ever big eyes clueless innocent
blissful?
Maybe I was born before I was, frozen in
time watching the world go by,
becoming
aging
and then I was born
Big eyes heavy eyes
weight of the world
poem and art by Jennifer van der Merwe
