Reflection of a Stranger

With intensity I stare into the mirror
trying to discern what I see.
The reflection does not seem
what it ought to be.
But yet it must be me.
I have gone so far over the edge,
that I no longer recognize my own image.
As if these years of pent up fear and
anger have distorted the portrait
of my former self.
I try to remember where I went wrong,
what caused this seemingly sudden change.
But it must have taken time,
quite some time.
After all nothing this drastic
happens over night.
This image offends my sensibilities,
It causes me to involuntarily
avert my gaze.
I am a stranger in my own eyes…
From childhood we have all
been taught never to trust strangers.
Therefore, how can I trust myself?
