• Who is this person
    with skin like mine
    all Hershey's Kiss brown,
    all fair and fine?


    Who is this person
    with eyes like mine
    all dark and understanding,
    all fire and passion.


    Who is this person
    with hair like mine
    all midnight and braided,
    all twisted and twilight?


    Who is this person
    with a voice like mine
    all quiet and unsure,
    all soft and unheard?


    Who is this person
    with a mind like mine
    all smart and confused,
    all deep and misunderstood?


    Who is this person
    with a heart like mine
    all hurt and depressed,
    all hidden and broken?


    I don't know who this person is
    because she sure can't be me.
    But when I look in the mirror
    that's who I see.
