I don't get how the person in the mirror is me
They don't look like me
Not even close
The problem is
I don't actually know what I'm supposed to look like
All I know is the person in the mirror is not it
That's not me in the mirror
This has happened before
I avoided mirrors for months
Eventually I looked in one
The person wasn't me
But they were close enough so I left it
But now they're not even close
Now they look nothing like me
I see pictures of someone who is supposed to be me
And I don't recognize them
Pictures from 2 years or 2 days ago
The person looking at the camera isn't me
But I don't know what I'm supposed to look like
So the person in the mirror will have to do
I guess
