The morning came, as i got out of bed to the cold surroundings,
Headed to the bathroom as is usual to an opened medicine cabinet.
I closed it not really wondering why it was opened and brushed my teeth,
Quiet was the morning as i thought i heard my own voice speaking.
Imagination working i thought to myself, again but it was calling me,
An Eerie, long, whisper, perhaps a bit tired as i rationalized the moment.
Walking away i stopped and turned swearing i saw something in the mirror,
My skin crawled so i moved fast towards the door to get outside.
There was no one to tell because it would be i the crazy one indeed,
Whatever it was did exist, at least in the mind of a man now afraid.
I had to go back in there to see, too find out if it was real, was i crazy,
It wasn’t expected but when i looked in the mirror He as i now call him
Not it was there staring at me, eyeing me, a tiny sort of a being.
My heart seemed to stop as he pointed to his face, i was in shock,
I now understood that he was me, in the mirror i now could see.

To come face to face with the real me is the perchance meeting I’d rather not experience, lest I find that I am not the one I believe I am.
Thanks for reading

This is very poignant in term of coming to terms with who you are. Seems to come as a bit of a surprise, and from what I’ve read of others, and now you, it’s often spooky. I can relate to this, and really love how you wrote it.
Great poem, kind of scary though!
