it's a sign
obvious
clear
i'm well-worn and used (not abused)
some would say that translates to "well-loved" and "needed"
but i say it just means i'm older and a little bent (not broken)
it's a billboard
big
bold
my edges are jagged and color faded (not jaded)
some would say that means i've had a "variety of life experiences"
but i say it just means i'm tired and skeptical (not cynical)
it's proof
a clue
one more piece of the puzzle
i'm tried and tested (not bested)
some would say it's clear i've "reached my prime"
but i say it just means i'm more than what they say i am (not less)
don't you get it
i am simple (not stupid)
no need for a sugary-sweet coating on this bitter pill
i can swallow pills just fine, thank you very much
it's a sign
a billboard
proof
i can take a hint
