imagine after all this time, i can actually claim to be in my prime

because from where i sit i am not longing to go nor forget

which affords me the comfort and ease to be okay with me

no longer torn between darkness and the dawn, the light inside of me

chases the boogie-men away

comfortable enough in my own skin no longer loathing the man i am

i can accept the gray hair and the extra pounds, i traded them for the peace i’ve found

stopping went i start to lament over wasted time i’ve spent and instead turn

to the gratitude i have for everything i’ve learned and still learning

and as long as i maintain this frame of mind…………….i will always be in my prime
