Masks in mirrors tell the past
As we together search the glass
For lines on faces stories told
Of lessons learned while growing old
Forever we shall see the truth
And feel the pangs of fleeting youth
Gazing in controlled by doubt
Our masked reflections peer back out

I feel the truth everyday when I look in the mirror
Getting old has it's perks though (like discounted restaraunt meals) haha!
