and isn't far, this place
where
you once
were, stuck with
the nervousness of youth,
fitting in,
always
at the mirror
to see how you might
look to others,
wondering what's
to become of you,
and then,
as if overnight,
you are no longer children,
but grown
men
and women,
able
to look around
at those that have
survived
and see
how it's all turned out.
