Stranger

When I look in the mirror, I don’t see myself
I see someone else
She has my hair
My eyes
My face
But she’s not me
Why is she staring back at me?
What happened to the person I knew so well?
“She’s gone” I tell myself
She’s walking in the darkness
Far away
Alone
The person I once was is gone
And the person I now am is a stranger
Is it sad that I don’t know myself?
That the girl staring back at me is unknown?
“What will become of me know?” I quietly ask myself
I’ve changed
Where will this stranger take me?
I’ve shed my skin
And let go of the past
Perhaps this stranger is better
Or maybe worse
She could be the person I want to be
Or the person I hate the most
Where will this stranger take me?
