-Identity

the face i see in the mirror
smiles a shy smile.
the big blue and gold eyes
twinkle and wink at me.
they know something i don't.
they are self-possesed, positive.
they know how life works.
i swim in their depths,
lost in a sense of self.
an endless identity.
they sweep mm into a dream
of passion and power.
then they harden;
they laugh at me
and point and say
"look at you!
do you know who
you really are?
does anybody know
who you really are?"
they laugh and laugh.
i am lost in the
echoing of the sound.
