I don't recognise my reflection
Someone's staring at me, right through my mirror
She's merged within me, I can feel her
Her face looks different, but I can't tell why
She's staring at me in disgust, like she's about to cry.
Her face is pale, like she has never seen the sun
She looks at me like she wants to break free and run
Her eyes are like the void, slightly darker than mine
There's nothing to observe, nothing to define,
Between her and my reflection, there's no line.
My eyes are focused on her blurry features,
Like she's one among all earth's creatures
With a peculiar type of sadness in her eyes
Like she's cursed to only tell lies,
And her thoughts are trapped inside of her, with no escape
Read the rest of the poem Show less
There's no one to hold her, to help her evade
She's a concept, a sad version of my shape
Destined to remind me of my fate
Cause she is me but i am not her, not yet
She's created by my own mind as a threat,
She haunts me in my mirror cause my soul is in debt.
