Looking Inside Myself

I stop to look inside myself,

To catch a glimpse of something new.

But I always end up disappointed.

Does this happen to you too?

Because I glance at my past with a blazing hatred,

Wishing I did something different.

Does this happen to you too?

I fear what will happen,

Once I set foot on the path of life.

I fear the nighttime,

In a world that never thought of a sunset.

Does this happen to you too?

I fear a boring life,

Wrought with misery and debts. 

I fear never being able to think for myself,

Or I'll collapse in nervous wrecks.

Does this happen to you too?

My eyes pierce the mirror,

That reflects a face I’m not sure I know,

That catches the light, but doesn’t show,

Who I really am.
