Mirror

I look in the mirror

What do I see?
Some strange human being

Looking back at me

I look in the mirror
 And to my surprise

 This face of mine

 Is withering

 With time

I look in the mirror
 Who is this strange creature?

 Looking back at me

Same old brown eyes

A balding head

Hopes and dreams that need fed

Some personality that I dread

The sparkle of life in his eyes

His life is passing him bye

So much he wants to share

If only he could bear

The fear that shakes him

His soul is out there
