I looked in the mirror

To find myself staring back

At an old man

In the 60s

I took a nap

And dreamt of a lake

Where my reflection looked like a man

In the 30s

I was eating dinner

And saw myself in the spoon

When I found myself as a man

In my 20s

“What’s happening to me!”

Was my last thought

Before I fully closed my eyes

When I felt myself turn into a baby

I woke up with a hammering heart

Looked at myself

And exhaled a sigh

I am in my world again

Not a distorted reality

My age and all

Beauty or otherwise

I am “Me”

That’s such a relief!
