Wrinkle In Time
The more we age, the more we exhibit the fine lines and wrinkles that are often
evidently condemned in our cosmetics, in the paint we lather on before battle.
As the years pass before our eyes, as we experience life and its many qualities, we try to reverse its effects as if it is embarrassing, shameful.
We attempt to erase the beauty of each fold of wisdom we gain as we endure a silent war, our stories only voiced through every crease we try to cover, though the panacea is only temporary.

Wrinkles are natural and a part of life, women shouldn't be forced to feel intimidated by them but instead learn to embrace them.
