Within Myself

I exist within myself Signs of an inner prophet forewarn Of my descending doom My body is telling me It is time for rest Aches and pain Disease and ills No pills or creams Can fix me I feel my mortality I know my existence seeps away Seeping so so far away I know but choose ignorant Enjoying what life is left I live to live I go to go I am to be Onward forward never look back Smile for the world Laugh for all others Love for love But within I feel Within I hear Within I know Time is my enemy I exist within myself.
