I am just me
Yes, I am only me…
A person once careworn
And now, a bit carefree…
I like to sit and read
A life of contentment lead
To rudeness pay no heed
I just trim off the weed…
Mostly I do smile
And try to hide a frown
For it is now quite easy
To wear a thorny crown.
The years have mellowed me
For I know right from wrong
I ignore the rotten apples
For my spirit is still strong
Some days I am merry
And bubbling to the brim
On Others I am serious
Though never really grim.
The years have been a challenge
That I rose up to meet
So that, today, the future
I can, serenely, greet.
In myself, I am quite happy
I, do not, company need
But am equally content
To mingle, and to meet.
It has taken me years
To escape from my cage
Yes, it has taken me eons
To reach this mellow stage

One does generally mellow with age unless of course one spoils and rots. A great write nicely written with a great message

Leverage j should be proud of themselves and celebrate personal growth!

Safina, this feels grounded right away…there’s a quiet confidence in this that doesn’t need to prove anything. It just speaks from where you’ve arrived. That calm self-acceptance carries through. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
it has taken years of patience and courage to reach this space, so it is highly valued and treasured.
I love the rhyme and message beautifully done dear. NafisaSB 🌹
this was written 4 years ago but holds good [or even better] now once we reach the phase of acceptance of come what may - and face all challenges with head held high
thanks a ton - have a wonderful weekend
Ah, I'm almost 52 now so I felt that age wise sentiment ❤️
