As i look
into the mirror
i see somebody else
this isn't me.
but then, who am i?
this person
staring back at me
is familiar
like an old friend
yet as i look at her
i am overwhelmed with sadness
as if the two of us have grown apart
over the years
she follows me everywhere
i wish she would go away
i'm trapped in her shadow
stuck with her
when i try to speak
it comes out through her mouth
everything i try to do
she does instead
why am i portrayed through her
this isn't who i am
why is she here
why won't she leave
why?
go away
let me be
i try to make her leave
it doesn't work
she is still here
i think she'll be here forever
but i'm not her
we're not the same person
not anymore
go away
your work is done
now go
please go
