Ageing
I looked in the mirror and I saw my age
I saw all the wrinkles and worry standing with no grace
My youth is gone,I am no longer a teen
I am in my golden years
My eyes show the pain in its depth
I can't believe I am growing old
The girl I was is no longer here, she’s gone
I see my reflection of this old wrinkled lady, if only the hands of time could roll back now ...all I want to be is 20
I wish I was still in my teenage years when I use to get admiring eyes now all I get is “maam do you need some help”…the cycle of life…I am a wrinkled old lady
I have no rhythm in my steps, only have pain and regrets
My breast was a mountain of delight now it's just a delight I guess ...I am ageing graceless...I want my youth back ...I want back that young girl with the flow in her steps…I want to be 20 again
