My Worst Enemy Is

My worst 
enemy 
is the 
frenemy 
I see 
in the 
bathroom
mirror
every 
morning
with a 
smile I
recognize 
as mine,
she’s a 
perfect
mime, 
she turns
to go and 
disappears
into 
a room 
just out 
of view
to do 
whatever 
things 
those 
doppelgängers
do.

With youth behind us, we should never ask, "Mirror, mirror on the wall..." We've earned our maturity.

Your outstanding poem cleverly captures the internal conflict one faces with their self-image. The use of the mirror and the concept of a 'frenemy' is effective in conveying a sense of familiarity mixed with introspection.
