The Body You Meet in Your Thirties
I remember the first time I pulled on a pair of thigh high boots
And couldn’t zip them up my calves
I remember the first time I wore a cute crop top T-shirt
And felt my fingers wishing for abs
I remember the first time I tried on stretchy leggings
And couldn’t hide my widening hips
I remember the first time I wore a tiny bikini
And my butt had cellulital dips
But I also remember the first time I asked
And someone actually told the truth
That all of the cosmetic procedures
Wouldn’t bottle up your youth
Dye your hair if you care
But if it’s gray?
Don’t despair
Don’t despair
For though we worry as we age
If we’ll maintain our appearance or won’t
Remember: All bodies have expiration dates
But personalities don’t
