WHO IS THAT IN THE MIRROR?
WHO IS THAT IN THE MIRROR?


Who is that in the mirror?
Is it someone I know?
Or, in fact, he’s a stranger,
Come here to make a show?

Why does he look so placid,
Kind and benevolent?
In his heart, he does harbor
A malicious intent.

Why does he bear a look of
Outward satisfaction?
Hoards of unfulfilled desires
Cause him inward tension.

Which one is my real self?
Shall it I ever see?
Is it that in the mirror?
The one that hides in me?
