My Reflection

Why Can't Anybody See My True-Self?

My Reflection

I appear in the mirror as another,

Beyond myself and all that I am,

My reflection displayed is far,

Known for my pseudo being,

Who I am, who I will be … has vanished.

I need to change back,

But my mirrored-self is pulling me in,

Escape these walls,

They’re closing in.

The title and the caption pulled me in to read. I was thinking that the person in the piece can see who they are but others can't. But after reading the piece, my interpretation of the piece is this...
Ohters can't see the person in the piece because he cannot see who he is. The person reflecting from the mirror is not the person they once knew... it is lost or temporarily misplaced... and if one doesn't know oneself, it is hard for others to know our true self.
