Musings: Fading

image

Stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself
All 5’9 of herself
The slim body that drew envy from girls
One thing was on her mind though
Fading
All fading away

Slim she might be now
Beautiful she might seem
But fading, it’s all gonna fade away
One day
The luscious brown hair
The still budding hips

Fading
All gonna fade away
But she’s ready for it
After all
It is a temporal container
Eyed the ant crawling on the table
Mused at how different their worlds were
And how oblivious it was
To the thoughts in her head

She smiles
It glided into her hairbrush
And she wished it luck in the tangled maze
The maze holding strands of hair
She talks about her hair a lot
She can be fussy about it like that
When she wants to be
But it’s fading too
Fading away

Raised her head and looked in the mirror
Focused on herself
Saw the cheeks and forehead
That would one day be wrinkled
The only person that can change you
Change you is the person in the mirror
But it will fade if you don’t want it to change
All fading away
