Young or old

I don't believe anyone would choose to live in a house of mirrors 

if they could choose, and hey, we all choose 

 

We all need privacy sometimes

corners to hide things in, 

even if that includes ourselves 

 

Many of us wake up one day with Middle age at the door

a rude unexpected guest who can't say why he came and

doesn't leave 

 

Now we have to evaluate who created the life we live in 

such a tough thing to realize the hardest hurdles are the ones we created

for ourselves  

 

So many of us live in comfortable houses

cages that are carefully built are still

cages
