Wouldn't take it back if I could

When I smile, the creases by my eyes no longer disappear
My smile no longer shines as brightly
The darkness under my eyes used to dissipate as the morning went on
but now, even before bedtime, I look like I just woke up
I feel no signs of aging or decay
yet my reflection no longer recognizes me
My soft hands are nothing more than fine lines and calloused palms
my feet, tired and abused
My once glossy, resilient black hair
seems to be getting curly, coarse and grey
I can't change time
take back the years, the sorrow, the bad days
Even if I could
The years have broke me
challenged me to pick myself up and mend the pieces
What if I hadn't
Time may not have been so kind
good moments cut entirely too short
the pain always much too prevalent
But, the choice is mine
Live. Breathe. Laugh. Love.
Worry. Stress. Drama. Toxicity.
Every word spoken can change a life.
Every bad thing has a purpose.
Things could always be worse.
