Unknown Beauty

I look in the mirror
I don’t see anything
No one beautiful, amazing, or breath-taking
Just average
The unknown beauty is a mystery to me
The face is black
The clothes are black
I don’t see me
A dim light shimmers in the corner
But it is not my vision, but someone else’s
Someone who thinks I’m beautiful
Who’s light is it?
