Progeria

Progeria!
The rapid aging disease
Which makes us look old
Like we're in our early eighties

We are intelligent, fun to be with and we enjoy life
Some of our days are sad, as we go through strife

Like having cramps, and heart attacks
Like having dry skin which always cracks

We love reading and we love playing
We understand the reason, behind our ageing

We are young, but trapped in an old person's body
We enjoy life, without having to worry

Some people make fun of us
They don't know what we are going through
But honestly what's the fuss?
Cause we're human just like you

We usually die before our thirteenth birthday
That's the difference between me and you
I have nothing more to say
Since there's nothing we can do
