Me, in my mind
I want to be me.
Just me, with no pains and aches
Of old joints and heart.

Daahlink - Beauty fades as we age - But, your worldly knowledge goes on forever. Happy New Year longtime bud..! jk.in.l.a.
How gorgeous! Love that you want to be you.
I love that you want to be yourself, despite the pains and aches. That’s a beautiful image.
I agree!! Just me is who I want to be!!💗💕💗
The brevity works beautifully here each line feels like a small, clear truth spoken without apology.
I'm constantly reconciling myself to how I'm viewed and how I see myself. If I didn't have those aches, I'd believe I was still a young woman but with more wisdom.
Wanting to be "just me" without the aches of growing older is something we can all relate to. Such a sweet and honest little piece, Lana! 💖
Love your succinct and beautiful haiku. Very relatable and your awesome image. Well done
I agree - no aches and pains. Loved it!
I wanna be that version of me too. Loved your Haiku!
