I glance at the mirror and I see My public image reflected back at me. Balding head and patchy beard Blue eyes astride a nose that's weird.

A closer look at my face reveals An inner strength my tear conceals. My role in society is a mask My inner demons brought to task.

If I stare at my reflection any longer I feel the demons getting stronger. There is an anger inside of here One that's born of love and fear.

It stares back with a smile not mine A madness twinkles in eyes that shine. I must look away from the beast inside Force it behind my image to hide.

My reflection is a part of me But not a part I want to be. The mirror's image is not my friend I pray it doesn't bring about my end.
