In the Mirror
I look in the mirror and
what do I see?
I see a girl.
She’s twenty, maybe thirty
pounds overweight.
She’s fat, I tell you,
pure FAT!
“Starve yourself,”
I tell her,
“You’re a pig.”
She does.
Too much.
I look in the mirror and
what do I see?
I see a girl.
She’s sick looking,
I can see her bones
sticking out, like a skeleton…
I’d vomit but,
I’ve vomited too much.
I’m the girl
in the mirror.
“Start eating more,”
I tell her,
“You’re going to die.”
She does.
Just enough.
I look in the mirror and
what do I see?
I see… ME!
