Here's Looking At You

Just a little insight from the one looking back at you

Poised in front of a mirror

At the tender age of thirteen

With no intention to be the bearer

Of future failures unforeseen 

Standing there ever so proudly

Content with my sense of pride

Future self in reflection screams loudly

True to oneself you must abide

The mirror provides a reflection

Fire and sand creates two sides

To reflect by definition

Is to learn where weakness hides

That young man at age thirteen

Saw in his own image such success

Wondered about what this life means

Left to my own devices , made his life a mess

I embrace this child inside

This part of me that is so innocent

I want to shower him with love denied

And inform him of where the time went

As i gaze once again upon that mirror

I envision that young boy

So young , so ripe, so full of vigor

Characteristics i can employ

As I cherish the youth inside me

With caution of the things I do

The mirror reflects things we can't see

So remember who's looking at you...
