Reflection

seeing your reflection
makes you do self observation

am i who see myself as?

i see the face in the mirror staring at me
the face i cannot recognize
the face marred with strees pain and grief

the reflection is not me
because i am ever changing
the reflection is who i was 5 seconds ago

before i walked away
