I Looks Older

The time is flying fast
I am getting older day by day
I am less active now, 
I have less hair on my head now, 
more medicines I m taking now, 
more forgetful is started now, 
I don't look stunning now, 
I am not independent now, 

When I saw myself in the mirror
I noticed fine lines on my forehead
And wrinkles on my face
All these things made me realise 
everyday that I m not young enough now

Whole life I worked for family and kids
never thought about myself
But now I want to be selfish 
as don't have much time to live. 

Let's live my own life, 
Let's make my own identity, 
Let's make myself queen
Let's fullfill all my dreams 
as it's better to be late then never.
