"How nice it would be if we only could get through into Looking-glass House!"
I wake up in the morning
Rub my hollow looking eyes
And go to my looking glass plastered to the door.
"Mirror mirror on the wall"
Lost half a pound last night
"Who's the thinnest one of all?"
Not me.
Not yet.
"Let's pretend, let's pretend..."
Let's pretend.
I'm just skin and bones.
Pure. Clean.
Empty.
A walking skeleton.
Look into the mirror again.
No...this reflection cannot be mine.
"How would you like to live in Looking-glass house? ...Perhaps Looking glass House milk isn't good to drink."
No Alice, it wouldn't.
Eat Me And I will get bigger
Therefore I will not eat anything.
Drink Me And I will get smaller
Therefore I will drink only water today.
"In another moment Alice was through the glass and jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room."
Pound my looking glass.
Then it shatters into a thousand pieces flying everywhere.
No more looking glass.
No more fat.

I love this poem. It speaks to me so much. I almost cried reading it because it is so true. I hate looking in the mirror each morning, dreading seeing the ugly thing looking back at me. By the way..I LOVE your motto and screen name!
