Reflection
It's supposed to help,
help you to see yourself.
Every time I look
I see a fake
A poser
Someone I'm not.
I try to claw at it,
make it disappear.
It doesn't work.
It never works.

I was having a bad day...I didn't feel like the person I wanted to be. This was my attempt at capturing my mood on paper.
