the mirror's image is

until i look directly

and this horribly disgustingly
h

glares back at me with my

n eyes
i see
scars fat
wrinkles pimples
bulimia pain hunger
anorexia ribs bones convulsions
agony grief distress misery
strain torment anxiety bitterness heartache
shock worry woe harm greed
wretchedness emptiness gluttony aggravation
disfigurement flaws discolorations
Mirror Mirror
on the wall
what is it you see
in little ole me?
{mirrors reply}
i see
blood veins a bottomless pit
starvation for attention a desire to be normal
a longing to be wanted a void of emotion
a lost soul
