No longer young
and I knew it today...
For more than a decade
I've been struggling
trying so hard to hold on
Really,
it wasn't the gray hair
the lines on my face
or the way my skin started to droop
it was insidious,
invisible
mortifying,
an unknown merciless threat
But today I knew
I was no longer young
and I also knew it was ok

Hi Lil - I also feel the same way! Thanks for putting it into words. It's hard sometimes, but it's also okay. Love you - A
The most startling thing about aging is that while you're distracted by children, husband, work, etc. it happens. You wake up one morning and you're old. And if that isn't cruel enough, your body is old, but your mind is not. Ironic.
