Conversing With Myself

Standing before a mirror, staring deep

Clearing my mind, ignoring those around

Looking to find a hint that I can keep

Asking who I am as thought begins to seep

Looking for answers, will they be found?


The face in the mirror watches, taunting

I smile but my reflection returns a frown

The unknown in its gaze appears daunting

The glimmer of secrets those eyes keep flaunting

Two pairs of eyes lock, eyes the same shade of brown


My eyes staring back at me, seeming to gloat

Leaning in closer, my face drifting nearer

While in the back of my mind, thoughts float

A rare union of two sides, a harmonic note

Conversing with myself, eyes growing clearer


From two mouths the same voice is talking

Questions asked but no real answers being given

On a reflected landscape two halves are walking

The conversation goes on, oblivious to all the gawking

Along the winding path, to the answers I am driven


Answers hidden within a world slowly turned skew

Reflections twist as the duality starts to slack

Revelations promised inside a witches brew

I need to solve this riddle and find what is true

Am I the one staring or the one staring back?
