Everyone says I look like you
I’ve never seen the resemblance
Until now
I look into these big brown eyes
And I see it
I see what they see
It’s the sadness
The way they curve slightly downwards
The way they glisten with tears
They way the brows scrunch with anxiety
Fear that the sadness will show
Using all their strength to not let the tears fall
Why are we sad?
I look into the mirror
And I see you
And I ask us
Why are we so sad?
