Woman at 33



The me I was
at 23--

the same old dreams,
the same old spunk,
without
the same old fears--

is the me
I am
now.

I have come home
to me
at last.

... except that I have just turned 37 (i wrote this when i turned 33) ... : ) but this poem expresses how I'm feeling now: more of Me than ever before!

Duh... when talking about numbers, makes me remember someone who had a so-called crush on me lately... just to mention she's over 30...

What's with this age stuff? I thought you chicks are very dead sensitive with age... (not to mention weight) (duh!)
