Stranger In the Mirror
I know who I am
But not the person in the mirror
A true companion of mine
Always on my window when I wake up
Inspecting and beautifying my face
Picking my clothes
Nodding if I am ready to go
I always catch him looking at me during the day
I have seen him walk besides me but he never talks to me
I have met people, good and bad
I have gone places, fancy and nasty
My companion lives through it all
Without saying a word
A word I have started to dread
What if this loyal stranger reveals who I really am
The tears I hide
The pain I feel
The lies I tell
Every night before I sleep I find him waiting for me
In a twin room
With things similar to mine
Always watching me
A stranger who knows everything about me
