Mirrors

we look

we discover

we search

we find

we conquer

we taste

we savor

we digest

we consume

we beget

we despise

we deny

                        ourselves…

                        the passion

                        the drive

                        the rush

                        the love

                        the money

                        the fame

                        the power

                        the joy

                        the sorrow

                        the happiness

                                                tabula rasa

                                                                        we dream

                                                                        facing the sun

                                                                        without wincing

                                                                        looking straight

                                                                        through the light

                                                                                                            

we disintegrate

                                                                                                            we forget

                                                                                                            we pray

                                                                                                            we learn

                                                                                                            we rise

                                                                                                            we believe      

                                                                                               

                                                                                                                        in ourselves again.
