"Gemini"

An Identity Crisis

There I am

gazing back at me

as I stand before the mirror, observing.

It's Me.

It's all in the eyes

a certain little gleam that lets me know I'm still pilot.

But some days

the gleam is gone

and my brown eyes look a little blacker.

There he is

glaring back at me

as I look back, trapped behind his eyes.

It's Him.

Still me

but someone else.

Wearing my skin, wreaking havoc.

The fraud!

And all I can do is watch

and wait to pick up the pieces.

- m.w.
