In My Skin

Not as young as once was
But feels alright it seems because
Secure in self is what time has brought
The outer forces matter not

Freedom to be what I want
Degrading words don't even taunt
For when I gaze in the mirror at me
I'm finally confortable with what I see

My soul has grown from all the past
Time is passing way to fast
I will be me and enjoy the rest
For I know whats left is the best

What a wonderful feeling and a great place to be

. Sometimes it seems to take forever to find one's place in this world, or to even figure who your own self is ... but once you know, you know, and that feeling is pure bliss. Thanks for sharing this one

Zinsser - when we know ourselves, we can be comfortable. I liked your writing...
