Camera Shy

anytime i see myself on camera i get confused.
this isn't who i see when i feel my face -
this isn't who i'd choose if i was given two separate plates.
it takes me aback...
- i don't know what i see when it comes to my reflection,
i don't see myself the way others might or maybe it's all a lie & the sight of me is terrifying -
is everyone trying to be nice?....
- i don't understand why...
i don't understand those electric eyes.
