We live our lives worried about how we look.
Think of all your critics and what they took.
But as we grow...older, we always have a choice,
We should embrace this Freedom and openly rejoice.
In every decade we have fears to face,
All of which bring us to our current place.
We've worried about partners, children and career;
We've tried to keep our Parents and Offspring near.
It is still unknown, what lies ahead,
But let's get rid of the weight of dread.
Let's release the weight of expectation
And plan our Future like we plan a vacation.
