The Stranger in me

I see under myself, In the acrylic mirror. Expressionless portrait Of sorrow and wonderment Artistic beauty of self expression. Picasso-ish, Contemplations of self Breathing out obsessions Unspoken words being heard, and Thoughts being felt. Between the lines I see A façade of Truth Contrast and color, Painting the knowledge within. Withering traditions, Confessions tell Of being strangers to ourselves.
