  • She turns 30

    Wake up to a face
    Your face
    The current face
    Not the face you remember

    Memory can distort reality
    Reality is a bucket of ice water
    Even the eyes change
    Once showed hope is now resigned

    Truth is
    It is not the face that is disheartening
    It is the day
    That states you are no longer spring flower but an autumn…Read More

    • hello beautiful Fia I’m glad I no longer get gazes I wrote a poem about that I’m waiting to post it…it’s titled invisible…I don’t feel old even though I’m fifty six and the world wants to tell me I’m old…no she is not old just no longer a teen… great write ❤️

    • This is a great write.
      The reality is we all age. It’s not so bad.
      But realizing that comes with wisdom and learning to embrace the life you’ve lived and where you are mentally.
      I’m happy at 51. You couldn’t pay me to be in my thirties.
      Hell no. Hahaha

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write that we can all relate to my friend. I’m happy where I am, don’t wanna go back in time. lol. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.

    • You have touched upon a very important topic with your beautiful and meaningful poem, dear Fià. Unfortunately, our Western society is obsessed with a cult of youth. In other cultures, by contrast, older people are more likely to be associated with wisdom and life experience. Fortunately, the ‘army’ of women who are not buying into this youth cult based on outward appearances is growing larger and larger. We only age in years, but we mature in terms of our life experience and our wisdom; our faces reflect the beauty of a life well-lived.
      ​Here’s to us older women!

    • My sister casually announces she’s fat from time to time and she’s smaller than me. Throws the brain when someone declares themselves to be in a deficit but they still have more than you. I find it funny that I’m actually more content with my aging than I was in my youth. Guess it’s what we take from the life we live. Good write, Fia

      • What got me is the announcement of I’m old. Not a grey hair, laugh lines nothing. Me being me I said I must be decerped. lol
        She caught on. But damn. Thank you Willow

    It Ain't Ending Nice

    Can’t go back to the way it was before The storm stripped the foundation bare Dirty secrets are used in keeping score Greedy pigs feast at the root of despair   So many sleepless nights I’ve lost count Growing sick of seeing your fucking face An...

    • I echo your thoughts Damian. I mentioned to a friend the other day that everything is corrupt now – Companies…people in business…the government…car dealers…you name it. It’s like we’ve gotten to a point where scamming people is the norm now. Great write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That it is, everything is about turning a buck, with doing as little as possible. What’s saddest is it doesn’t bring them any happiness. Appreciate you.

    • Oh you know I’m over here furiously nodding and grabbing logs for the fire. I have come to the place of having to mute and cover the face of the colostomy bag. It’s not worth the heart palpitations and anger rising. I refuse to allow my health to be further deteriorated by that overstuffed cheese puff. Another marshmallow, my friend? I’m adding wood to the fire!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I figured you might get fired up reading this one. I’m so tired of trying to figure out who’s still buying this bullshit, it can’t get anymore obvious that he’s out over his fucking skis, he’s beyond compromised at this point. I could go for a marshmallow. See you at the bonfire. Appreciate you.
