Decades later
Looking in the mirror
Im a shadow of my former self
I used to be so much stronger than this

Not knowing what to do
How can I confront my fears?
Words can’t escape

Decades have proven nothing
My younger self disappearing
How to have that presence again

My reflection is disappearing
My image comes a blur
Now I realise what my mother meant

By getting old.
