What is that I see in the Mirror?

A youth; stubble beginning to form, on

His slowly, ageing face.


He's tall, and thin,

He has bags under his eyes,

His pale skin makes him seem nauseated, as if he had seen a ghost.


What is he thinking?

What drives him to go on?

What lies beneath his visage of stoicism?


That is what the Mirror doesn't show.
