The one in the mirror is not me
I know it cannot be
She looks so wan and sorry
And not the way I want to be
Do I really look this way
Or is it just illusion
Is this the way I値l stay
I知 so full of confusion
The mirror seems to play a game
And show a different person
Sometimes I am just the same
And other times I知 gruesome
Sometimes my feelings change
And I see another me
And it is not within my range
How this has come to be
Is it that I知 different because of what I知 feeling
Or is it the reflection that has changed the way I知 seeing
Do I see a different me because of what I知 thinking
Or is it the reflection that has changed the way I知 feeling
This is a puzzle to me all the time
And there seems to be no answer to this sorry rhyme
Jenny Lloyd
Author notes
Option 2 (a)
I hate to look in the mirror and sometimes I'm afraid of what I might see. Sometimes when I look, what I see makes me feel quite ill. Then other times I think I don't I look so bad.

Loved it! The different emotions you feel when your in frint of the mirror is clear. And i can relate a lot to it. Because sometime i do feel confused. Cause the emotion and the person i see changes and i only wish to see one person... the true me. Beautiful and amazingly written. Well done.
