Mindset

I wake up in the morning
Sit on the edge of the bed
I put myself together from my toes up to my head
I walk into the bathroom
No lights so I can't see
The crazy looking lady who is staring back at me
I brush my teeth in silence and am glad I still have teeth
I do not think how old I am
Nor worry about the creeks
I think I'll stay a teen
This attitude has saved me from those around my age
Who feel the need to talk about all their aches and pains
So think about your mind set
Be glad your still around
You still have time to do the things you've thought about for years
