A stranger,

5 0 0
                                    

stood in front of me,

someone I thought I knew,

someone I thought I KNEW,

someone who looks just like me,

yet I knew nothing

about the person in the mirror.


Their stare cold,

like when a shower first turns on

in the winter.

Frigid.


Eyes puffy from the crying,

a body I find disgusting,


I couldn't help myself,

but look in the mirror,

with it's ugly eyes

staring back at me,

and think about

how

I will always look

like a

stranger



to me.
