out of the corner of my eye
there was a girl in the mirror today
but i did a double take
thinking it was me
i realized i didn’t know her
i realized it was someone different
but each time i looked up
the girl was so familiar
and i thought
is this what my self looks like now?
is this what it’s like to catch yourself
in the midst of change
and realize
you don’t know
the you in you anymore?
if it is
i can’t feel scared
confused
or unimpressed
only a bit surprised
at what i looked like now
standing beside what i looked like then
each beautiful
in their own
very special way
