Human

In the mirror
                    looking back
Young face
                  but
                        look closer
See the lines
Broken dreams
Unfulfilled potential
The hurt
              the longing
For things that will never be
No hope
               equals
                         no fear
Loneliness
The only friend
                        I have left
Will anything
                     or anyone
Ever make it go away?
I hope not
I need it
It helps remind me
                             I'm still human
