I stopped aging when I reached 17. I took on the permanent persona of a young man. Wherever I went, whatever I did, it was all done behind this mask. The mirror told a different story but throughout the years I stood firm and played the part.

As one year ends and another begins I ruminate on the future but still keep the young man inside as I continue on with life’s journey.

Big thank you to the wonderful songwriter, Kevin Milner. I have rephrased and repitched his original vocal so take a listen to the original and the other great mixes he has uploaded
