Another day

Backwards and forwards upside down 
I'm not a super hero and I'm not a clown 

Getting dizzy fast just spinning around 
I'm shouting loud but I'm making no sound 

Look to the future don't live in the past 
I'm am mortal how long does life last.

Trying to get warm but I'm always cold 
Walking slowly now as I'm getting old 

My eyesight is failing no hair on my head
My teeth in a glass at the side of my bed 

I have no wish to run and I don't want to play 
All I ask for is to live another day.
