Bags under my swollen eyes,
Titter tatter spots and freckles.

Lines crawl over my face,
told of roads travelled.
Of years not marvelled,
by any other.

Midrift bulging
After years of indulging.
Into my thirties,
OH!! how discouraging....

Aging.

Yep....I know what you mean. Just remember it's the inside that counts....if we take care of things there then we just get better!

Oh, dear. I think you need a hug.

I do believe we all tend to be more critical of ourselfves than others are.

Once I learned to relax, so did the lines on my face!
