Ring.
Ring.
This is your bank.
We are pleased with your recent extravagant spendings.
Please spend more.

Thought:
Extravagant spendings? Me?

Check statements:
Thousands of dollars spent?!
Not I!

Treachery.
Crime.
Theft.

To think,
Another face out there is mocking mine.
Other lips smile and speak my name as their own.
O, the horror!

Mirror, Mirror! Speak to me!
Do others look at this theif and see
a man falsely pretending to be
a different person, such as me?

Do others say, Thank you Lee,
and accept stolen money, for him it's free.
They smile oh so happily
as if they were speaking to me?

Nightmare!
Terror!
Lies!

Mirror, Mirror! Can't you see?
This world is a cruel place to be!
They've stolen my identity!
You cannot trust the other me!
