into the mirror.
into the past.
do you see yourself?
are you pleased with that?
i have read the works
of many great men;
stood where they stood
as many will again;
but it is not them-
who answer for me;
when i am thru,
and enter history.
for myself i must speak,
for the work i have done.
no one but me,
can run a race that i must run
so how am i doing,
will i be pleased when i am done?
let's just say, i'll aim for a better tomorrow
and we'll see when i'm done.
