To Find Yourself

I looked into a mirror once, and found to my dismay, the person I was looking at was different yesterday. Where did her funny glasses go, the ones without a frame? I swear her hair was frizzy then, it wouldn't be so tame. The clothes that she is wearing are not the ones I bought. She never was at all demure though it wasn't trouble she sought. This strange new person that I saw, her humanity on a shelf, had an effort to know just who she was. Instead she lost herself.
