Looking Glass

in #poetry6 years ago

my reflection
has grown weary

more than the
weathering
of my skin

and the fading
of a once
carefree smile

I relinquish
the youthful glow
of yesterdays
gone

and willingly
cry uncle
to the conquering
grays

I cannot
however

bring myself
to extend
a proper welcome

to the sadness
staring back
at me

I'm not that much into poetry. Actually I sort of struggled in wathever class that involved any. I'm more of a geek, I guess. Anyways, nice post. Upvoted and resteemed! :)

The thought of writing a book did actually cross my mind, but since I'm still pretty much without ideas, I just let life lead me on. Maybe over time ideas will come.

I bought Tina's fab book. I highly recommend it :)

Thank you :)

Keep battling on, girl.

I'm getting there ;) Thanks, my friend!

Long time no see! I'm glad I caught this one.

Thanks so much :)
