Who is this person looking back at me
image from http://www.photoshopessentials.com
In the depths of this pool
Reflected back at me
Do you know me
Have I seen you before
Can you tell me if we spoke
Or did we just pass by
I wonder if you can see me
Or is it just a shadow of who I am
Did I really show you my true self
Or was I hidden behind another mask
It isn’t such a strange thing I ask
I really can’t remember when
The last time I let a stranger in
To see beneath the masks I wear
So many now it’s crowded here
There are so many to choose from
If I decide it’s safe to try
I might let you see me as you wander by
I doubt I’ll let you know who I am
Nor to speak to or get to know
Know who I truly am
For then I have to start anew
And craft a new me,
For you
