True Reflection

 
I look in the mirror
The reflection looking back
At me seems to be wrong
Where has the years gone
When did these lines appear?
In my mind the face I
See is the real me
In my reality I’m still 21
Looking back at the mirror
Those years have long gone
In my head I can hear
The clock ticking
Slight flecks of grey
Do I accept it or
Kid my self and pull them out
Do I fight the inevitable?
Or go down graceful
When you’re young you feel invincible
You look at your parents
And think that will never be you
When you think back
To when you was young
The things you saw
The things you did
People you met  
During the course of your life
It feels like a dream
Surreal
Was that really me that did those things?
It’s like remembering a film once seen
But it was your reality at that time
Time is the master
Makes me humble
The years have taught me
Many of lives lessons
Age is just a new chapter
A new episode of a film
To be enjoyed to its fullest
Still young at heart
I touch the lines and smile
These signifies
The chapters of my life
And the wisdom I have gained
