Recently,
I have been told I have an old soul,
and I/'/m not entirely sure what that means.
Do they mean to compare me to an old man?
Or does it mean that I think in similar ways?
Sure, I enjoy quiet nights to myself,
I prefer my books to television,
and I/'/ve listened to Frank Sinatra since I was 15 years old.
Maybe it says that I like old things.
Or maybe my soul is older than I am.
I wonder if it/'/s a dangerous condition.
Should I be worried about my soul dying before I do?
Or maybe it means that I wouldn/'/t fit in with others around my age.
Perhaps I need an age group reassignment surgery.

Whatever the case,
I/'/m not sure what to make of it.
I always thought I was simply unique,
but now I/'/m rather worried.
I wonder if there are others with the same condition.
