Mirror looking

by Missy   Jan 27, 2005


You look in the mirror
what do you see?
i see a scared girl
looking back at me

she stands there still
with nothing on
she is confused
of where she's gone wrong

her eyes are empty
she skin it white
she is fragile
shes just another night

    "she skin it white" would read better "her skin is white". Just my suggestion, otherwise I love the starkness you bring out in this honest and yet brutal image. You described this girl well and my heart fell when reading, to imagine a girl so fragile and becoming weak...it is deeply sad. A powerful yet simple last line too. I took it as this is not the first night she's felt this way, felt this sacred in the mirror and in life....and that she is just going through it again, no one to help her, just living what she can't stand.

    Keep writing,

    MaryAnne
