I am getting Older day by day

 I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories.........

I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others.......

I have stopped looking daily into the mirror .......

I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ......

TV doesn't excite me as much now .......

My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook.......

I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them.......

Am i getting older day by day ?


Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers;

I love to spend money and time  on experiences now......

Only the fitness goals push me to  look into the mirror .....

I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart. 

I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to  accept it.....

I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ......

Am i getting older day by day ? 

or 

Am i getting freer day by day ? 


I wish to be dressed in a cotton saree .....

With my pure grey hair .......

With spectacles hanged in a neck chain .....

Not with heels but a comfortable pair of shoes ......

Having a good health to drive alone .......

Reaching to  people whom i make friends ......

Listening to music .....

And may be doing a slow salsa with another soul of my kind .......

 I want to be Myself  

as 

I get older day by day 

That's Me !

  1. It's never too late to listen to the heart. And why should you think you're getting old because you are taking care of yourself, you are happy and free!! Enjoy this time with self, Monika.

  2. This is the wisdom that comes with maturity, and maturity does not always come with age.
    So consider yourself lucky! :)
    I loved the way you poured out your heart with such honesty.

    Keep writing! (That's one sure shot way of being yourself.)

    Cheers!

  3. Such a pertinent poem... growing older can be a pain or an adventure. It depends on how one looks at it.
