Changes in me...

CHANGES IN ME 
Looking at those photos!!
Will I be like that says I emotionally!
Like not the changes in me
As I look in my mirrored glass & see...
The changes in me!!
There's a stranger looking back ta me...
With my fingers, I touch the reflection on my glass
I see no lines deeply embedded within me!!
But the vision that I see it's not me!!
But some other being looking sadly back at me...
Am not accepting awfully well the changes in me...
Twinkling mischievous eyes looking back at me...
Daring me to kick butt you see...
The smile still real to me
Smiling from ear to ear bravely for all to see...
Head erectly smiling at those that greet me...
I see the light in their eyes smiling back at me...
But I like not the changes in me!!
I look not like me!!
As I look into my mirrored glass a tear falling silently...
What have they done with me?
ET, Tu says I accusingly
Irrevocably abandoning me!
But I'll always kick butt you see at those that misunderstand me...
Those photos left a big impression on me...
But that smile still twinkling in my eyes as I look & see...
That inherently love lives within me...
