I gaze long and hard in the mirror,
And who do I see staring back?
A person I've known for quite some time,
Lets take the personality-and hack!
Close to the family, a given,
But alone in so many ways,
A very kind heart, though hidden,
With loyalty that often sways.
A good friend to those who know me,
And I hope I would be a loss,
But watch your back if against me,
I'm not really a person to cross.
I've sacrificed lots on the work front,
Progressed when some turned away,
In the end it has got me nowhere,
And for that, someone will pay!
I have a foundation in humour,
But maybe my serious side,
Stopped me from laughing as often,
As I've taken this life-
