Mirror, Mirror on the wall.
I don't know this girl at all.
She stands before me every day
and quite often she is in my way.
She blocks my view so I cannot see me
as she tries to convince me that I am she.
I see her life from my looking glass view
as she sees mine because we are two.
And sometimes I think that we trade places
which is easy to do with identical faces.
But all that switching just adds to the confusion
of who each of us are when we create the illusion
that we are one body, one soul, and one mind
but each of us know we're two of a kind.
I don't think we much like one another
each would like to change the other.
Because we don't share life from the same view
she's got no idea what I've been through.
And I'm not sure how it came to be
that I'd see a stranger looking back at me.

An interesting look into that mirror

however the varying line lengths and couplets made the rhyme feel very forced, as if you simply ended the line when you could finally get a rhyme to work. I think you would do better with this poem if you went to a less restrictive rhyme scheme. Perhaps choose a set line length (by syllable count) and then work to get the right rhyming words within that length. It is a good exercise in finding just the exact best word for each line in your poem.
