That familiar stranger
I see that stranger
All the time
She's boring a hole in my mind
I thought I knew her
Everyone thinks they do
They try to put her in a catagory
But she never fits
She's strange and crazy
She's a wanderer and a misfit
Until you need her
And then she's your bestfriend
She's kind and really cares
But noone knows her
Noone even tries
She wears a million different masks
None know her real face
I see her in the mirror
That familiar stranger.

Thanks I'll remember to change that. The contridiction comes from thinking I know myself but not really knowing myself. :)
