Mirror
used to be outside of me now
vacuumed
in at solar plexus,
inverted:
can see myself from every angle;
wracked brain nitpicking every square inch of my body, my mind;
all analyzed all the time –
I swear there is bleeding in my cerebellum –
always cut myself trying to pick up
alone
broken shards reflecting
my brain
from the
floor.

I really like this, the visuals and word choice. Astounding.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. -The Doctor

I thought that this piece was amazing. Honestly, it's what most girls feel/ think about when they look at themselves in the mirror.
