The Mirror

I feel like I'm split in two places

Think of a mirror

Clean and if it's really that clear

Then that's still me on the other side

Splitting like the continental divide

Sometimes I lean in close and look in my eyes

And whisper "Are you alive inside?"

Tapping on the mirror

Thinking about the other side of that glass.

I feel like there's a whole side of me

Trapped under what I see

Not trapped.
