The oldest thing I’m wearing

Is the heart inside my chest.

Emotionally and mentally

It’s not really at its best…

But that doesn’t mean that it’s not young,

It has just matured quite fast,

My heart, it is not broken,

But it looks a bit like rags.

The oldest thing I’m wearing

Has been stitched up many times.

It’s not a piece of garbage,

But it needs some help inside.

Don’t judge me just because

I’m wearing something old

I might just need some time.

At least that’s what I’m told.

~

The oldest thing I’m wearing today

Might not be in style

But the oldest thing I’m wearing today

I’ll be wearing for a while.
