The exercise:
Inspired by my dad telling me last night that there is a person here in Vancouver who shares my first and last name, today's topic is: doppelganger.
Mine:
Different name, different life,
Similar game, similar strife,
But matching eyes, and matching nose...
I cannot lie, my poor heart froze
So who is this, it is not me,
But does he miss... my family?
I must wonder, it can't be helped,
My blood thunders, my thoughts do melt
Lost in the crowd, where did he go?
It is so loud, but I must know,
Are we a pair, is he my clone?
The truth laid bare... I am alone
