Serious Personality

In the mirror I see

something is different 

with shock I realise

I have a wrinkle

 

I raise my eyebrow

it’s accentuated

I lower my eyebrow

it stays, an echo 

 

I knew it would happen

the day would come

my face would say

welcome to middle age

 

Over time we

make friends and

I admire my friend

from every angle

 

Eventually it

seems more like

a badge of honour

to wear with pride

 

My battle scar

I trace that line

that says I fought

and I survived

 

This face now shows

the life I lived

the laughs I laughed

the tears I cried

 

More importantly

I now need to

back this old face up

with some serious personality

I thought it would be a distressed and gloomy, as loosing youth and stepping in the middle age is not a welcome prospect for every one...hell n e one...but i am glad, the tone of this poem is in contrast, a little thought provoking ... instead of just yelling your time is up :)

Great stuff...and yeah, good luck with that serious personality...i doubt it somehow ...heheh :))))
