My mother

I look at me in that mirror
That’s the person who was
At 20, I am the person
Who became me as I am today.

I suddenly see me in the mirror
40 does not seem an age.
Or is it? It has never felt that way
Age in the mind, age in the body,
When did that happen
Not to me, yet
But today I look close,
Is the skin looking different?
Is that age?

Or, is it a mindshift
Somewhere in my mind
Have I let my ‘youngness’ go,
Stopped being 20.
Have I become my mother?
