Looking in the mirror,
I trace the lines,
recalling memories etched
in laughter, tears, and time.
From girlhood dreams
playing in sunlit fields
to nights of doubt
where silence yields.
I ran and stumbled
through seasons,
feeling both joy and strife,
as my ambitions wove
into the fabric of my life.
As I aged,
love found me gently,
a force that held me tight,
as hearts came and parted,
guiding me through
the brightest days
and darkest nights.
Yet in quieter moments,
I learned to be still,
to cherish the rhythm
of my heart’s beating will.
I found wisdom in years,
revealing the beauty of growth
and the power of fear.
Now I am forty years young,
with stories to share,
a mosaic of memories
and a life almost laid bare
as I embrace this journey,
completely aware
of who I am.
