Poetry: Looking in the mirror

There he is again,
looking out at me.
He's always been there hiding
whenever I took time to see.
He always seemed to grow
at the same rate as me.

As I grew older,
and began to understand,
he even inspired moments
when I wanted to make new plans.
I even changed my hair
to make me into a different man.

Then when I began to mature,
the image began to change,
I tried to make my nature
a totally different one.
The man in the mirror showed me
that it really mattered none.

    Looking in the mirror
    What is it that I see?
    A girl so shrewd and lonely
    Unrecognizabl e to me

    To you I am nothing more than a punching bag
    Though unused you look upon me with fists of fury
