Mirror, Mirror

A reflection of me

On the other side

Of that mirror.

 

I see a cheerleader

But that’s not me.

I hear an angel

But that’s not me.

I smell a flower

But that’s not me.

 

Deep in the picture

I see a quiet girl

Shaking as she walks

Crying as she hides

Stuttering as she talks

 

I see me

In that image

Unjustified

I know that’s

Not me

It’s the flip of a coin

The opposite

Of me.
