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?
