To Meet Myself

What do others see
When they look at me?
Is it the green of my eyes
Or the size of my thighs
The scar on my chin 
Do they think I'm slim

I'd love to meet myself. 

What would they say 
If they met me one day?
Do I appear kind
After delving into my mind
Maybe it's just a mask
To veil all that's in the past

I'd love to meet myself.

What do they shout
When I'm not about? 
Am I a subject of topic 
When it comes to gossip
Perhaps I'm crazy
With looks that could kill...maybe. 

I'd love to meet myself.
