Wrinkles

I wonder,
Who I will be,
When I age.

I often find myself,
At a loss,
When asked who exactly I am.

I tend to brush the chestnut locks,
Only attempting to contain my face,
Away,
And peer down,
At my steadfast feet.

I do not even know me,
Me!
It causes my heart to shrink,
And relapse.

I just cut out a big wad of grey hairs, it is scary.
