"Not Me"

I look at the mirror and see not myself,
yet he does what I do and breathes with my breath,
he has my eyes and sees what I see,
yet I say to myself "this is not me".

I speak with my mouth yet hear not myself,
the message I long for her to hear,
is said with emotions no one can feel,
and I said to myself "this is not me".

I've masked my words and myself,
to hide my heart's true face,
towards the one who seeks not me,
but of someone I can't replace.

With this unmasking I take a risk,
of losing not one but two of my friends,
but to find myself I must face the music,
and remove this mask from my face.
