Know thyself

Mirror's gaze

Deceiver, beguiler

Hypnotic haze

I'm called by many names

Personality oscillates

A tired masquerade

Decay, renew, derange

Eyes alien

Shedding skin

Self-constructed edifice

Imprisonment

Twist me into form

I'm your fantasy unfurled

Trapped in parallel worlds

Am I essence or a shallow sum of actions?

Spirit or form?

As memory recedes, I am unborn

A hollow husk

Clothed in strange attire

A projection of need, a projection of desire

The mirror's gaze

Reflect on me

Escape

In solitude

Blossom into worlds unknown

Beyond the mirror's gaze

Communion with the soul

I am blissfully alone
