You reach out
To grab me
I dodge you and try to strike back
I don't know what you are

I actually hit you
But for some reason
I ache instead
I scrape my arm

But you aren't affected
I don't know what happens
I want to cry
Why are you after me?

I want to shout for help
I think I am not me right now
You start to beat on me
You aren't affected

Yet when I hit you
I am injured
I realize I cannot win
For the injuries I cause are the same to me

If you die
I die
If I die
You do not

Let me be free
Give me my end
My mirror image
