First You Change and Then You Fade

By myself, all alone,
I look in the mirror,
not knowing what I see.
The strange image before my eyes,
is supposed to be me,
but instead it's something else.
I started out looking at my own reflection,
but then it all changed.
The backround shifted and disappeared.
The lines began to blur.
The colors turned to black and white.
The image started to stir.
The focus moved and went in and out.
The figure took on a whirl.
The person before me became pixelated.
The edges began to curl.
Is the individual in the mirror me,
or a painted picture of who I am?
Is that how I look inside,
or something else entirely?
I stood staring, unable to move,
when the reflection changed again.
This time she waved goodbye,
and then slowly faded... until she was gone.
