"Who am I?"

Who am I?
I look in the mirror and see someone new.
This is not my body I see in the reflection.
It has no bruises, cuts, scrapes, scars, puffy eyes, stomach fat.
It has perfect skin, flawless hair, small eyes.

I stand there look at this body who's not mine and start to stair in amazement.
Then I realize that it's not mine and stop.
But only for a minute and after I stair more and more in amazement.
I scan over this body over and over and over for what seems forever.

But then I suddenly wake in my bed and realize that it all was a dream or more of a nightmare.
I get up from the covers and stair into my reflection and stair over and over at my ugly body for what seems forever.
I start to fall to my knees remembering that perfect body who's not mine and will be so close but so far from my touch.
