The man in the mirror

Who is the man in the mirror?
Who is he trying to impress?
Who are those he wants to prove wrong?
Who is he trying to justify?

A girlfriend who disses him for another
A father whose believe is not sufficient enough for him to face his fears
A mother whose only one wish before leaving earth is to see him rise to 'stardom'
Sisters who are counting on him to be a high-flyer
Agemates who thinks he is an empty show,  a bluff and can amount to nothing.
Relatives who are just indifferent about him
Family friends who sees what he is to become and are 'Awe-struck'

What are his intentions?
His motives?
What even propels him towards his vision?

Is he true to his purpose?
His calling?
His God?
Is he even true to himself?

In the end we would realise someone was disappointed.
In the end we would realise we needed to please that person.

That person won't be deceived by our pretense.
He would stare us in the face with our evils in the palm of his hand.

The person we ought to impress is 'The man in the mirror'
