Years, countless years
of struggles and hard work.
Days and night of work-
torturing oneself to satisfy-
to reach self actualization.
[Happiness and even smile -
is hiding from me in my own-
reflection.]
Materials coming of age
of immateriality. I realize.
I can see a lot of things.
Though I only feel a handful-
of them exist. In reality.
In a heartbeat, I feel lost.
Where have I been?
What have I done?
I wash my face
and cross my fingers.
