The Girl In the Mirror

Have you ever wondered how your seen by the eyes of others?

I stand here,

facing the mirror,

Looking at the figure that stands before me,

She is me, but she isn't me,

Our noses,

our ears,

All our features are identical,

Our hair,

our clothes,

all the same,

But our eyes,

 

Our eyes are different,

Her eyes stare back at mine, 

as though they have no feeling,

Without Concern,

 

My eyes, behold her the way I see myself,

Free spirited, strong, happy, with hopes, and aspirations of all kinds,

but her eyes,

how do they see me?

Do they see me as bossy?

Or,

Do they see me as a natural born leader?

Do they see me as secretive?

Or 

do they see me as shy?

Do they see me as intelligent?

Or
boastful? 

They say ignorance is bliss,

 But never have I ever wanted to know,

Who I am in eyes of others,

More than now,

 

But she is just a reflection,

A wonder of science,

And when I walk away,

She will disappear,

along with the knowledge that I so desperately need to know

Very poignant and thought provoking, I like it. My only suggestion would be about the formatting in one particular paragraph, I'll show you how I think it would look better

I know it's something small but I really do think it can make all the difference, otherwise it is perfect :)

This poem really grabbed my attention because I can relate to it. I feel the same when I look in the mirror. Nicely done. (:
