    reflection in the mirror
    staring back at me
    doesnt look anything like me

    am i crazy?
    am i me?

    whats going on here
    is this reflection me?? or a stranger staring back at me

    why cant i see the real me?
    why cant i see anything but this image in the mirror

    whats going on?
    am i clued in to what is happening
    or am i stuck in this loophole

    just to stay in this dark hole
    and never be seen again?

    hi there

    this is a great piece i like the explaining in words, of longing to understand..yourself or ones self.
    the human .. you are you ..what ever changes take place .
    keep writing.

    The monkey thing is actually kind of an interesting interpretation, I think. It's quite easy to imagine a monkey (though monkeys don't notice their reflections, chimps do inconsistently; orangutans regularly) looking at itself and wondering. Looked at in that light, it's almost a piece about the nature of consciousness, rather than a snapshot of inner turmoil.

    yes a reflection in the mirror can be bitter... its what you see that makes it bitter or not.
