Sitting here I stare
Into a dark reflection on the glass,
Its features not quite made-out
Only a dark figure surrounded by black.

It has no made eyes,
But yet seems to have a million
A key into the unknown.

Sitting there I realize
It was myself staring back
At my own shadowed reflection.

Sometimes people are too busy looking at other's opinions and pictures of themself, that thier own view of themself becomes distorted.
