wiping away the greying mist
i determinedly peered ahead
towards two prying brown eyes
staring back with sullen dread
at a dull and rough facade
behind which now meekly hides
a once close friend of ours
I convinced myself had died
That dark and shameful piece of me
i left years back to rot
when a fresh identity
a new reflection
was all i really sought
but he still lives
neither close nor very far
with a mocking tone, he whispers one question
"Do you now know who you are?"
