I take it all in,
my cellulite, my stretch marks,
my flabby parts. I take it all in, the
numbers on the scale, my graying hair,
my pale skin. I take it all in, my crooked
teeth, my worsening sight, my hooded
lids. I stand by the mirror, I’m looking
at me, my reflection isn’t perfect,
but I take it all in.


Very powerful!

Very relevant for an old chap like me who does not recognize himself in the mirror in the morning. Still new to the blogging scene myself, but this struck me unexpectedly, and thank you. I guess that’s what it’s all about without being overly simplistic hopefully.
Cheers and thank you for liking some of my stuff too 😀
