age is just a number
they say
then why do i
dread my birthday?

because along with a
number
comes a name.

18 and you're
an adult
they say.

30 and your
youth ends
they exclaim

58 and you
are now a senior
they make you understand

90 and you
know, your time is
at hand.

so after all these
labels and what they say
how can they tell us
that age is just a number anyway?
