Myself

I look at you into a mirror
and saw a complete stranger,
bitten down by age and stressful choices.
what happen to the young man with the star 
in his eyes
what happen to the sky is the limit.
I look at you into a mirror and find
a stranger looking back with despair
and hopelessness radiating through his eyes.
Buck up, man! let's find the youngster and 
maybe, yes maybe the next time,
I will see myself once more.
