Puddle Mirror
Issue date: 3/5/10 Section: Entertainment
I stand before myself
And I stare
Into my eyes
Searching for life
When it seems I have
None.
I often have to wonder
If it's really me
Staring back out
Or,
Am I the reflection
Of the person staring back at me?
But a reflection disappears
When you move past the puddle.
So if she moves,
Will I vanish?
Am I the reflection
Of the person staring back at me?
So I'll just stand here,
Staring at myself,
Until one of us,
decides to move.
