The Ghost

This could be confusing, but dare to understand.

I saw something in darkness.
Oh jeez! What is that?
Why in the world would I see,
such luminous thing and sparkly?

No, that is not a thing,
nor a jewel hanging.
What would that be, I started thinking.
Oh my goodness, is that a person walking?

That is a person, right.
But why is it so bright?
Oh, she is getting near me.
Yes, she! She is a girl like me!

But again, why is she so bright?
It couldn't be the reflection of light.
I was in darkness, remember?
My curiosity started to encumber.

This cannot be, it cannot be!
There is no way I'll be seeing a ghost!
Oh please, I'm afraid of them!
But it seems like she is really a ghost!

No, I don't want a first time to see a ghost.
I never want to.
But she is only an inch away from me.
And I saw, I clearly saw, she looks like me.

I know my looks more than anyone do.
I know how I look, how I move.
And clear as the sun, I saw,
I am the ghost. I am now filled with awe.

I am the ghost! 
I am frightened of myself!
I am scaring myself.
I am the ghost!

Later I felt the urge to get away from this.
I shook myself in terror.
I closed my eyes in disbelief.
I stopped, like a man who views himself in the mirror.

I opened my eyes and saw nothing.
I am in darkness, remember?
Why in the world would I see, I recalled.
Then what is the meaning of that encounter?

I am the ghost.
I frightened myself.
I am haunted by myself.
The ghost I see, she is me.

Separated personalities are one of the worst scenarios of life that many go through, especially in the form of depression. To be frank, I'm not too much a fan of your use of connecting verbs, but rather I fell head over heels in love with your concept. Most people, or at least to my knowledge, don't use this kind of concept to present themselves. Maybe it's the Halloween fever, maybe it's just how your personality works, who knows? Nonetheless, astounding job.

Hope that you're not feeling the same way with the girl.

I am afraid, I'm halfway to feel what she felt.
