Skinned knees from lessons learnt..

Broken hearts and blurry eyes.

Dying friendships and change in time..

Agonizing decisions. Priorities realized.

Cheers to skinned knees,

I am a better 'Me' .

Left, right, left again.. Stare into the mirror filled with pride thinking 'I'm so beautiful' must be the envy of everyone's eye...

Stare harder, look a little close, this beauty is not forever, time will take its toll..

Maybe there'd be scars, wrinkles or a broken nose.. Maybe burnt, paralyzed or stitches all across.

The mirror would then be an enemy reminding you of your external flaws ..

Left, right, left again. Stare into the mirror, thinking, 'Vanity, all in vain.'
