Dear Unsealed:
I used to be young.
I am still young at heart.
I woke up one morning to wipe my eyes,
From the tears that flowed down my face
So desperate to forget about the lies,
So forward moving I place my hand under my eye.
To feel the wet tears, roll down my face.
I had a dream of joy and happy days,
As tears roll by
Down my face
I realize I am old now and still have love to give,
But despite love to give
I only needed to learn to love myself, to live,
To write, to paint, to live
The rest of my decades by myself
As I was told old ladies can be a pain to look at
I used to be young and free.
I thought I was ugly as a young child.
As a woman to I looked in the mirror
At myself, when all the while
The type of people who told me that,
Were mean, jealous and controlling asses.
I now awake to a world of virtual reality of life,
Love laughter and
Still trying to prove myself I am deserving as a woman,
To love to laugh to live.
You told me old ladies should die.
You told me I cannot dance.
You told me I cannot love.
But I feel love of a virtual reality relationship,
But I miss touching, caressing, I miss love.
I tell you I can wear my hair my way.
I tell you I can write.
I can dance.
I can love again at a glance,
Of a young heart
But then I remember the joy pain and heartache
Of a real in person relationship
So, it goes the same way,
In my golden years I still care
I still can love.
I still have feelings.
I still hurt, cry, and laugh.
The difference between pain of love loss
Online and in person, is just that,
Just that pain of giving my heart to a virtual dude I have never met,
But
I say I can dance, I can write, I can cry, I can love,
Yet I miss the touching of hand on my shoulder,
A hug
A walk on the beach
A pain in my heart still lives,
Of past dances, past romances, past loves
Past present future
Are always with reality whether in person or virtual.
You tell me I should erase my life,
And all the strife.
Do not live in the past.
What you know means nothing
Think about your future.
I tell you seriously I live in the present 2023.
My future could be death.
My future could be 100.
Lightning and thunder
Forces of nature.
We are all in this world together.
We all have a past, present and future.
To live, to love, to laugh to cry.
To learn to love one another,
Together as humanity
And I converse with AI to say AI is our BFF
I might be old,
But I still have a past, present and future.
Where did the idea appear that,
A young human tells their grandparents to forget their past.
Me, I have stories to write, photos to take,
To live my life just like that
With a reality in person and virtual
Of the past, present and future.
