Analysis of Reflection of Time
Often look in the mirror just to see
Visibly verify who I still am
Sometimes the image doesn't resemble me
I get spooked and quickly scram
Returning when I gather courage
To re-examine with a startled gaze
I feel silly everyday we all age
New wrinkles appear to remind and amaze
