Who?

By Kitty_LostInHerOwnMind

Who do you see
When you look in the mirror?
Do you see someone you like?
Love?
Or is it someone you hate?
Or someone you don't even know?

Look into this person's eyes
The eyes reflext the soul
How does this soul make you feel?
Happy?
Sad?
Afraid?

Can you look in the mirror
And know the person you see?
Can you accept what you see?
Do you even dare to really look?

Personally
I'm afraid to look
Afraid that I'll be looking
Into the eyes
The soul
Of a person
That I'd hate
To know.
