    That stranger in the mirror,
    Staring back at you,
    Eyes so strange,
    They reveal nothing.
    Searches for answers,
    Come up short,
    Only leading to more questions,
    A vicious cycle.
    That person,
    Thing,
    Follows your movements,
    Or do you follow Its?
    Lost in thought,
    You loose yourself,
    As you always do,
    But no wishes to change it.
    That stranger speaks,
    Words so cruel,
    Words of truth,
    Words you need to hear.
    It commands you,
    That feeling,
    One so deep,
    Not even you can get rid of it.
    Try with your might,
    You will never escape it,
    The past that haunts you,
    The memories that plague your mind.
    Maybe one day,
    You can walk away,
    From the mirror you hide behind,
    And know who that stranger is

    Your writing skills are top notch; clean and steady. I love a good speller and one who understands the proper usage of punctuation. Bravo! "The past that haunts you, The memories that plague your mind" —this is solid feeling. The yearning in this poem is the sign of a deep soul thinker.

    this sounds like it should be in the twilight zone marathon-from the mirror 5th dimension at the sign post up ahead in the twilight zone! i like it;)

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
