Too many times have I looked in a mirror
Finding an alien
Nothing that resembles me
The inside invaded by the out

Sometimes I fear we are all aliens
Captive in our human shells
Afraid
The big bad world will come and knock our doors down

Other times I'm alone
In a dark, cruel and ugly place
Reflecting back in the mirror
Saying don't look at my face

Saying there's nothing there that's human
Screaming "that's not me!"
But I can do nothing but watch
Through the alien eyes I see.
