Peter Vector - Reflection

I see these faint scars on my arms.
I see these faded memories in my mind.

I brush back my long hair with my hand.
I hold back these painful emotions with my heart.

I put on my clothes for the day.
I hide behind my mask for the day.

I look into this mirror.
I look into this stranger's eyes.

I close my eyes.
I close out everyone.

I become me.
I become someone I don't know.

Why?
What for?
