Delusional frontage.

Does she have a multiple personality?

Is she someone who deals with paranoia,they way her face contorts over her shoulder.

Looking over her shoulder in suspicion.

Or is she hiding herself,afraid to show the world who she is?

Her necklace thin like a scar speaks of her aging despair.

A bonnet,the one thing that that seems to compliment both her personalities.

Is she pretending to be someone she’s not,is she afraid to grow old,hiding that part of herself?

Or is she saying this is who I am?

But if you look beyond my wrinkles and weathered face,you will see who I truly am.

Am I an old woman or a young girl?

Have I always been afraid to grow old?

Is it that I’ve been traumatized by my obsession to stay young?

My memories and feelings so overwhelming that I have taken on another identity.

Am I drowning in the fountain of youth?

Going deeper into the complexities of the depths of my mind.

Who am I?

And what have I become?

This is based on the illusion of the young woman and the old lady.

I remember the first time I saw it.

Not knowing it was an illusion.

But there was something about it that continually drew my attention to it.

And I remember one day, ,I saw a different image in the picture.

If I was aware at the time,that if I knew it was an illusion,I wonder what I would have seen.

I remember it having a dark background,and seeing a young girl the first time.

Then one day I saw the old woman and the young lady simultaneously.

And that was years ago.

And this challenge brought me to this image again.

And once again,the images were simultaneously captured in my mind.
