Reflections

I look in a puddle and what do I see 1

Another girl's face staring at me 2

That's not my face, that's not my reflection 3

But this girl's face moves in the same direction 4

My face should be smiling, not torn in fear 5

I'm afraid to speak, worried what I might hear 6

I raise my hand and she does too 7

This can't be me! This can't be true! 8

I look close, trying to find my face, 9

But the one staring at me is all out of place 10

Have I changed this much? What have I done? 11

This face staring at me is devoid of fun 12

But what if I smile, to try something new, 13

Will she do the same? Will she follow through? 14

I smile real big, as far as my mouth will go, 15

She smiles too and its a smile I know, 16

It was me this whole time! I knew it was true! 17

Make sure that this never happens to you, 18

If you get lost and feel out of place, 19

Just make sure you remember your face, 20

This world is full of tricks and lies, 21

But even they can't break emotional ties, 22

Your face is yours and yours alone, 23

So make sure you remember it's your own, 24

Because your face is something you cannot lose, 25

Even though it's not yours to choose, 26

It's your face! Don't you forget, 27

Because life can be filled with some regret, 28

Just stay true and I hope you never have to chase, 29

Your identity, which is your face! 30

Author notes

A short poem I wrote a few days ago. Just kind of came from no where actually.

    This was quite interesting. We must be careful of wearing masks, because those masks could be what people come to know, rather than what's below the mask, the real you. This was really great. I liked it a lot. Keep on writing. God Bless!
