Gazing From the Looking Glass

I gaze from the looking glass,

As someone looks within.

 

I mimic their all their looks and movements,

And for some, I even add improvements.

 

And though they may spend just a few minutes gazing in,

I must live my life from behind this glass that is so thin.

 

How can something so small and clear,

Keep me so isolate and alone in here?

 

All the happy faces that I make,

Just don't feel right, they're all so fake.

 

And imitate faces is all that I do,

Though just the thought of it makes me blue.

 

You see, I have no face of my own,

I will never look like anyone you've ever known.

 

But the one thing that I do have is a name,

And you may know it though it is a shame.

 

That I don't know you,

Yet you know me.

 

For my name is Reflection,

But all you'll ever see is your complexion.

This is sort of a twist on 'Gazing into the Looking Glass,' not trying to go against any copyright though. Just putting that out there.
