I don’t see myself in the boy too eager to please the others around him.

I don’t see myself in the teen who had been lost to the existential angst of a youthful mind.

Much too fast,
much too fast,
you have so much life to live.  

I now see myself in the mirror and only have faith in my actions.

Not too appeal to you but harness my worth and to finally follow my dreams.

I now see myself in the man I’d begin to be.

I now see myself as happy.
