GROWING OLDER!

I
They call me the happiest man.
They say I’m the definition of happiness.
But they don’t know my sadness
If they knew.

A man who has no worries they assume
Saying worriers and I are parallel lines
But they don’t know my worries
If they knew

The man who kills both a lion and elephant at a time.
The man who fears not the Otumfuo,
Even if he stands in the palace rebuking him.
So they don’t know my fear.
If they knew!

It is nothing that makes me sad.
It is nothing that keeps me worried
It is nothing that grows the fear in me.
But growing older is what has taken over me now.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
