​​​​​I am alive for years

doesn't mean I live every day 

I breathe daily 

doesn't say I am happy and gay

I eat and consume daily

doesn't mean I grow every day

I read and learn sincerely

doesn't  make me wiser clearly

 

I live the days when I am being me  

I grow when I am in misery 

I feel happy when I am with my family 

I learn when I encounter predicaments.

(guess my age?)
