Anyone
Mirrors are vicious things
like age they reflect back
what we don’t want to see
Where dark green eyes once
a soft almond shape sat
only droopy eyes look back at me
Luscious lips pink and smooth
corners lifted in a perpetual smile
now resemble the surface of the moon
The nose once a slender focal point
now sports large pores and appears
a bulbous accoutrement
Hair once brown and slightly wavy
is a fuzzy ball of curly gray
I wonder when it got this way
But deep inside I am still me
still a girl with the gentle eyes
auburn hair who could walk for miles
It’s sad to me that as we age
who we are inside
remains the same
I think it’s good that the inside stays the same. We think of ourselves as when we were in our prime.

In a way, however it’s also very frustrating not to be able to do even the simplest things we could do when younger. ((hugs)) ❤️

I know, but we are alive and still here.
