The Girl in Me ...

Even though I've lived through my own lot ...
Tried, loved ... and lost several times,
though broken down ... but irreparably not ...

And yet , it amazes me still ,
at this my age ...
Seeing your pectorals wiggle,
my eyes just can't disengage ...
Can't help but let out some involuntary giggle
like I would have done
when I was decades younger and single ...

Still, I'm glad there remains
a bit of that girlish naivity that shows ...
Not hardened and embittered,
but can still with candidness
curl up my toes ...

Perhaps it contributes
to not really looking my age,
who knows ...?
I'm just somewhat glad I can laugh silly
and not worried that it shows ....

Oavsett hur gammal man blir, är man aldrig äldre än 16 år i själen. Det är karraktärsbildande. En del klarar inte av det helt enkelt att bli gammal.

The shape of your skin.
Does not make your soul a twin.

The child in mind.
In all we find.

Society puts us in a role.
Better to have control.

If not, we are all judged.
We all need to be nudged.

As not to become a relic.
But more angelic.

Perv or princess, is not good.
Most of us understood.

My mind says it's dull.
Need to get the kid out of the skull.
