I take a deep breath, and look into the mirror.
A reflected image of myself, appears in front of me.
They stare back at me as I stare at them.
Is this who I really am?
Is this who I want to be?
My thoughts are interrupted, by the reflection moving closer.
They stare at me, in awe of what it's seeing.
Am I really this reflection?
Am I who it wants to be?
Before I find any answers, my reflection disappears.
I look into the mirror, only to see nothing.
Why must this happen to me?
Will I ever find an answer?
This inner conflict will never end.
Will I ever know who I really am?
Will I ever know who I'm meant to be?
I'm left with doubts, and unanswered questions.
I will never find an answer.
I will never really know.
