You weakness sickens me.
Such a pretty girl
wasted.
The lines in your face
aging
away your youth every second.
How do you stand it?
Can't you feel the air getting thin?
Time giving in?
Next year, next year....
I promise the face in my mirror.
I will do better next year.

Sarah I loved this one. It gave me chills all over. I understood completely.
Me, lately, I have been saying the same thing to myself. But I am saying "next lifetime, next lifetime, I'll do better."
This is a real zinger, Sara. I can relate to this, seriously. I really like these lines:
"Can't you feel the air getting thin?
Time giving in?"
Just sumpthang about them that strikes a chord in me.
I'm left thinking about myself, "ya, in another lifetime, grrl!"

for some reason, this remind's me of oscar wilde's 'dorian gray'. i
Sarah, what powerful words you speak! I can see the image in the mirror and relate to it. By the way, thanks for your recent comments. This poem reminds me of one I wrote some time ago, think I'll post it.
