Who is she?

Looking through a looking glass
A stranger's looking back at me
I look to see what I look like
Instead I wonder- "Who is she?"

A face so different from my own
Eyes that seem to hold my stare,
With questions I don't understand
Before those eyes, my soul lays bare.

A kindred spirit or long lost friend
I know not who the image is,
Yet something tells me I know her well
In a world quite different from this.

I am as much a stranger
To her, as she to me
Yet we share a deeper fear
Of who we are and who we'll be.

I smile at her, a hesitant smile
And she smiles right back at me
A chord is struck, a deal is made
For maybe one day I will be she.

Hmmmm.... It's no wonder that I don't spend too much time looking at myself in the mirror... escapism is my motto in life!
