Well Groomed
There is truth in a mirror
To see a self I haven’t seen
Years of life to travel
There is no holding to what means
I have held on strongly to what meant
And I have given up in totality
And it isn’t because I cannot dream what can
Simply… the world hasn’t an identity
I will never be who I’ll never be
Can you be true to yourself?
Years anew asking who is me?
Have I not a new change to gladly tell?
I am so tired of life
Not for competition but for living
I do not need comfort to survive
Everything everywhere… is always selling
I am well-groom in the mirror
And I try to see myself for the first time
Minutes promising an hour
Can I see a second for that moment to find?
