Identity Crisis

Looking in this mirror Wondering who it is I see The face looks familiar But it doesn’t look like me I’m at a loss for words to describe who is staring I’d like to think it’s someone brave Someone bright Maybe someone daring I don’t know who they are But I feel connected somehow Because we even share a scar on our left eyebrow She wrinkles her nose when I do And I wonder if her favorite color is also blue Does she not get a fever with the flu? And is it herself that she looks up to? Does she prefer hoodies to jackets? And Fall to Summer? Is her favorite movie Spy? Or is that also a lie? Looking in this mirror Wondering who it is I see The face looks familiar But it doesn’t look like me

I love this poem, because it speaks truth, sometimes we don't know who we are. that's deep. well written
