A place inside yourself

I wish that I could look into a mirror and not recognize who I am looking at
that I could see myself for the first time
because that way I could see what I look like from the viewpoint of a stranger
I wonder what a stranger would see
I wonder what you personally will think of me when we reveal who we are

I've known myself my whole life
and I know that when I look into a mirror
there is one thing that has always come to mind

u n s u r e t y

When I catch people looking at me I don't know whether:

A. They are staring because they think I look nice
                               or
B. My face is like a car accident; it's tragic and horrific but you can't help but stare

I wonder what you look like
not what I see at school

but what you look like when you are doing what you love to do
whatever it is that motivates you

In my mind if that's the way we saw everybody, nobody would feel ugly
