Younger me

The younger me was so much different

In many ways but was still reticent,

As I am now to show my individuality

To express myself the way I wish to be,

But back then I believed in rebellion

Of people rising up and questioning our government,

Something don’t change, except for lack hair and wrinkles

I’ve aged in looks and body but not in principles,

Within I feel the younger me still fighting for change

Something’s with me will never diminish with my age.

      1. It really does resonate… I too feel I’m holding back much of the time… it’s not easy to go against the common political flow… but as long as we’re listening to our instincts in the holding back, sometimes perhaps it’s nature’s way of helping us gather strength for the right words and/or moment. Thanks for sharing another lovely poem 🙏💛
