My gaze wander around it.

Pushing it's limits through pure staring.
No, this can't be it.

It looks like a person.

In every single way, it seems to be a person.

But it's not.

I touch its hands.

Feels like a person.

I search for a pulse in its wrist and I find it.

Looking into its eyes.

This isn't a person.

This isn't me.

This is just a shell.

Wrapped around my soul like a blanket.

This is someone else.
