Age
 

Inside I'm really 22
so full of dreams, promise
and life.

I wear my hair the way I
want and pierce
whatever I like.

I rock to music with
such force it drives
me through the night.

Then the mirror shows
me what is real
what I'm really like.

Age is just a state
of mind and I'll fight
it with all my might.

That was TERRIFIC!!! Loved it and I can so relate!!! :clap:

AMEN, nicely done, njcreedite!!!!

I like that. Your poetry is very real, not flowery with hints at what you really mean like mine. That's something I very much appreciate. Keep it up!

Woooohooo! Amendadat!
Short n to da point. Excellent!

Teri and I were talking about this poem. She found it positive, as if it was saying "Screw You" to everyone.
I found that pretty cool and can now see how she saw it this way. It wasn't what I was thinking at the time. When I wrote it, I was feeling more like.... bittersweet. What I see in the mirror isn't at all how I feel, but I'm expected to act more like I look and less like I feel. Wrote another about that...but haven't posted it. Didn't like the way it came out.
Anyways...I find it interesting how we all read the samethings and come away with different takes.

:clap: I LOVED it! I feel like I just want to be 21 again! Great poem Linda!!

Thanks Kris. Happy you guys like it, but the more I read it the less
I like it. Not a good one, in my opinion. :o
