Will I ever outgrow this?
What is this ridiculous obsession ~
perhaps a case of simple vanity?
There's so much more to life
than warped arrogant narcicism.
I'm obviously more than
these pesky extra pounds
around my waist and
few deep wrinkles on my face
yet still it manages to monopolize
my moods and daily thoughts.
I seem to spend my time
reminding mirror and self,
much like repeating a mantra,
that I am the sum total of my years.
Meanwhile I'll wait patiently for this brain
to start embracing the golden age of wisdom.
