Reflection

Me

You are so ugly

With your rouge-stained cheeks

Your black Shadowed eyes

Have you eaten this week?



Do not stare back at me

With the tears running down

Like black trails of sadness

Past that sulky frown



Scrub clean those filthy hands

The dirt from under your nails

Quiet your pathetic sobs

And your pitiful wails



Do not touch the mirror

And mimic all that I do

For you cannot be me

And I do not wish to be you

It seems to me that you are talking about yourself in this one, but at the same time talking about somebody else.
