Do I know you
Do I know you
You look like me
You sound like me
You act like me
But do I really know you
I can't know you
You don't act like you used to
You have more marks on your body than I remember
You've become more secluded
You rarely ask for help anymore
What's happened to you
You're not the person I used to know
You are more afraid
More timid, more hurt
I am going to ask you one last time
Do I know you
I'm waiting on an answer
Why won't you answer me
But then I realize
My reflection can't talk
You look like me
You sound like me
You act like me
But do I really know you
I can't know you
You don't act like you used to
You have more marks on your body than I remember
You've become more secluded
You rarely ask for help anymore
What's happened to you
You're not the person I used to know
You are more afraid
More timid, more hurt
I am going to ask you one last time
Do I know you
I'm waiting on an answer
Why won't you answer me
But then I realize
My reflection can't talk

This is an awesome piece, very deep. It's amazing how things can change us to a point we can't even recognize ourselves in the mirror. Well written!
