Who is that girl?

Who is that girl I see?
Chubby cheeks
and talks funny?
That's not me.
In the mirror I see her
but I don't know her.
Who is that girl I hear?
Stuttering, lisp
Recklessly blabbing her fears?
That's not me.
In the mirror I see her
but I don't know her.
Who is that girl?

This is about how shocking it can be to see photos or videos of yourself and the way you look and sound doesn't sound or look at all like how you see or hear yourself. Sometimes it's so radically different, you're like, what lens am I looking/hearing through? Anyone else feel that way sometimes too?

p.s. sorry for it being so long since my last post. Just haven't been inspired and been busy writing fiction instead.
