That Person In The Mirror

I look in the mirror

I look
At the stranger
Who stares right back at me

Same hair
Same eyes
Same features

Everything is the same
But
It isn't

That person isn't me
That person in the mirror
I don't know them

They stare at me with eyes full of pain
Of sorrow
And of guilt

That person is broken
They can't be put back together
They can't be fixed

I wave my hand in front of the mirror
And they copy
Like they're supposed to

That person in the mirror
They are me
I am them

I am broken
I am sad
I've done things I regret

The person in the mirror
That's the me now

The person in the photo
That's the me then

I looked in the mirror yesterday
And I saw the old me

But the new me
That's the person in the mirror
