I have never equated myself
With the girl in the mirror
I watch my reflection whenever I can
Because it looks so foreign to me
This is not my body
I am only borrowing it
Who does that make me?
Why am I here?
I am caught off guard by the way I look
Not that I could explain what's right,
But I know this is wrong.
I change my hair
I change my makeup
The way I dress
None of it helps.
I am utterly foreign,
The only signs that I inhabit this body at all,
Are that I can control it.
How can other people associate
This face with me?
How can someone tell me I'm beautiful,
When I don't even know what I look like?
How do I fix this?
How do I communicate it?
Who am I?
