Scribblings

Untitled by Melissa Goldhammer

Does your reflection ever shock you
and you can't believe it covers the
person inside
or surprise you when its not the same
face that looked back at you the morning
before
Do you hide the days the inside is prettier
Do you gloat when you know that its uglier
Do you shatter the mirror and pray for
seven years bad luck cause you know
it won't tell you the truth
And do you scream when the shard
keeps laughing at you and fucking with you
cause they know they can
