I sometimes wonder

gazing at the stars,

how peaceful it would be,

If only we could accept ourselves

the way we are!

These age reversal creams and cosmetics that claim,

to turn back the time and make you look like some actresses they name.

But I wonder why the pressure

to look like what you are not??

Why not gracefully enjoy each phase of ageing

and stop being a victim of the change

that life itself brought..!
