I refuse to get botoxed<\/p>\n

I don’t want plastic surgery<\/p>\n

I want to grow old the way the universe intended<\/p>\n

I want my wrinkles<\/p>\n

My gray hair<\/p>\n

My cold sense of humor<\/p>\n

I could use less creaking<\/p>\n

I wish my back felt more lively<\/p>\n

But growing old doesn’t scare me<\/p>\n

I never was a twenty year old model<\/p>\n

I don’t ever care to look like one<\/p>\n

I want the wisdom that comes with age<\/p>\n

I want the wrinkles to reflect my laughter<\/p>\n

I want my forehead to wear my worries for the world to see<\/p>\n

I refuse to be botoxed<\/p>\n

I don’t want puffy lips<\/p>\n

I want my lips to kiss those I love<\/p>\n

Comfortably<\/p>\n

Let me grow old the way the universe intended<\/p>\n

Don’t shame me for who I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
