I Stare

I stare at the reflection in disbelief,

When my beauty fades in a split second,

I wonder I'd these creases are all I am,

Is my soul as old as I feel,

Or is wisdom etched in those lines,

That I should be proud of these steps,

That I should remember the scars,

That experience has brought me through,

So when my beauty fades,

I'll not lie here in disbelief,

But smile.

Cause it was all worth it on this path.
