Analysis of Stranger in the Mirror
+*Stranger in The Mirror*+
I looked in the mirror, this morning
That person looked
somewhat like me
The image, perceived
just will not be
the one I was hoping to see
When I see my photo,
it's no-one I know
A stranger is looking right back
You've made it clear
that's the way I appear,
but it's hard to take that as a fact!
When others deduce who I am,
Their description fits
some other man
The man in my mind
is of some other kind
I'm wondering now, who I am!

About this poem
It's about self mage as opposed to reality of others.
