Who’s that I see?
In the mirror,
Looking back at me?
The time has come…
Acceptance is key…
As I become,
The woman I’m meant to be.
Graying at the temples,
Wrinkles around my eyes,
All play their part,
So I surmise.
I’m so much more,
Then what everyone sees,
I’m a woman who’s sufficient,
Who’s stronger than she seems.
Like a Phoenix rising from the flames,
My Spirit’s breaking free.
I embrace this amazing woman,
Residing inside of me.
