I looked myself in mirror
not able to recognize
the former self, wrinkled
hollow, patched skin
Cracks, folds open up
Oozing dry white lumps
lose bosoms hanging out
Echoing a common tale
sordid but mundane
An ordinary but of millions
Unrecognized in sea of people
Burden of sagging skin
Bulbous bones and aching heart
Falling sideways, a deep sigh..
Not able to recognize the
former self… consuming my
new self, breathing my new
skins, adorning my present bones
I simply moved on as time got over!
Ah, splendid
Thanks dear, I am so glad you liked it, truly appreciate it!
The race with the time & we always left behind… Irony!
Wonderfully crafted, Tanya!!
Thanks Roshan and you observation is spot on, it’s a race with time. You are a great reader! Truly appreciate it!
Oh I could feel the fears creeping up my spine to grip my neck. There are not many fears that make me freak out, but it is one of the few ones.
Don’t be scared, you have enough time to get old :), so enjoy your youth while we get old!
Okay first you make me remember the thing I had forgotten and now you say don’t get scared. And how should I do it?🤔
Lol well you are young
I believe I am, but for me the earth is rotating faster. So much work to do, so little time is there.
That’s for all of us, time runs very fast!
Or we are running very slow. who knows?
Could be that we are running slow
May be time is running fast. Let the blame be placed on someone else. I am good.
