Self In the Mirror

When I look in the mirror, Ask me what do I see. What I see is a man trying His hardest to succeed. While staring into his eyes, Remembering his past crimes, When all he wants Is a way to rewind time So that he can correct his life. Sometimes... The pressure of success Just makes him want to tightly caress His 9, And end all the rest Of what’s yet to come, Wearing a brave smile Since he still knows how to have fun And realizing the thought That his life has only just begun. As he washes his face in the sink, He takes a second And checks his stink, And wonders... What would others think? His friends, His family, Do they ever stop to think... Will he reach his final frontier? He thinks this every day when He looks at me in the mirror.
