What Am I ?


When I look in the mirror 

I see a face rottiong away 

I don't know who she is 

But I know it's not who I am 

 

What am I? 

Who is she? 

Why's this mirror always lying to me ? 

 

I  lost the self I used to be, I can not breathe 

When I look in the mirror I see a face rotting away 

I don't know who she is

But I know it's not who I am 

 

What am I? 

Who is she?

Why's this mirror always lying to me? 

 

I found the self

I am meant to be 

I can not hide it anymore

 

When I look in the mirror

I see the face has crumbled away 

I don't know who he is 

But I think he might be me

 

Is this me? 

Who is he? 

Why's this mirror suddenly smiling at me? 

 

I am the self

I am supposed to be 

I am free
