The younger me

Looking in my mirror

I’m not sure who I see.

Someone is looking back

could it be me?

 

I look at her face

and into her eyes.

Does she recognize me

or am I a surprise?

 

I look at her deeply

I look at her long.

I know we’re connected

that feeling is strong.

The me on the outside,

the me deep within -

how to connect them,

how to begin?

 

When people connect

with the person that’s me -

what do they relate to -

what is it they see?

Me on the inside

is all over the place.

Who do they relate to

when they look at my face?
