Vampires Don't Reflect In Mirrors MAG
my mother claims i'm part
vampire,
because
i keep my room so dimly lit
so i don't have to see my reflection
in the mirror.
if i can't see the truth
i can pretend to be anyone,
anything i'm not.
when the lights get turned on
i'm forced
to take a look at myself
sitting home alone on a saturday night
(again)
eating carrot sticks with the
(false)
hope that a thin body will give me the strength
to turn on the lights,
look in the mirror
and not start to
cry.
