“Who are you?” I asked. He didn’t reply.
I looked at him. I had seen him before, but couldn’t place him.
Realization dawned. “No. You can’t have changed so much. Why? You were so different yesterday. So this is what life does to people, huh?”
I looked in the mirror and stared at another.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Clever take on the theme. Who IS that?! Say it all the time. Welcome to the group! Thanks for the comment. ROG, ABC Wednesday team

Excellent, well written Leo.Yvonne.

Me, too, can't believe what my eyes sometimes see in the mirror, but yes, oftentimes, could not place the young me before…why? Maybe there was no mirror yet when I was young and have not seen the young me before…:P
I am trying to find a word in dictionary to praise you so that no one ever can't forget that word, wait till that as of now, "You are an Awesome Writer for sure.."..Yours Frendly,Saravana Kumar M

Life has strange ways of moulding, turning or twisting you. 😉 Those various experiences in life makes it so. That is precisely the reason you see a different 'you' in the mirror every time. You may love it or hate it…but you cant ignore it coz you have earned it!! 🙂
@Rumz,haha.. yes, so very true..! i earned it alright 😛 but sometimes, i hate it rather than love it.
Its something anyone can relate to..i loved the way you've written it down. 🙂
oh yes it happens…we look in the mirror and try to recognize the person…i sometimes know who i am looking at…and sometimes i don't…
@Sunakshi,thank u and glad u liked it!
@Tweety,yes, it does indeed happen..
