Everyone sees a different me,
How drastic is the difference?
Can I pretend to know my face,
When I have never seen it?

My face is mirrored when I look at it,
Does that make it a lie?
Do two versions of me exist,
Or just the one I can not see?

Am I what others see,
Or the reflection in the mirror?
Is the real me the one I see,
And everyone else wearing a mask?

If the mirror broke,
And my reflection splintered,
Would anything be left?
