Doppelganger

I watch you swing

through the playground of my mind,

I want to tell you that it will be easy.

As I look into your eyes so unknowing, and so kind.

I do not wish to lie,

so this is the calm before the storm

“What do you mean?”

You ask so trusting and so warm

One day it does get better, I promise that it will.

But the worst has yet to come,

and it has barely just begun.

“Don’t I look familiar?”

“A little, what’s your name?

You ask full of wonder and concern.

I’m your doppelganger as time passes you will learn.
