Approaching 30

I'm at that age, When wisdom comes to me
Of all wrong doings, I do now clearly see
Grayish curls, Fall upon my brow
Faint small lines, Are noticed now
I don't fit in, With the older folks
To the younger, I'm just another joke
I'll find a place, Within this world
I will show you all, I am not a girl
A woman, I have long since been
This has been known, to all my friends
A lady still, I have yet to be
That comes with time, But soon you'll see
I will learn, Who I shall become
Inside my heart, Will stay forever young.

Closed

Turning every blind corner
With eyes tightly closed
Where I must go now
No one but me knows
Grabbing my life tightly
With both hands
Sleeping in peace
Strapping no ends
