A/N: So, I wrote this poem a while ago, and then rewrote it, but I’ve never been too sure which version was better. So I’m putting them both here. Please tell me which you liked best.

Distorted

Look in the mirror

Do you see yourself?

Do you truly see yourself?

I do

I look in the mirror

I see myself

I my tears

I see my hair matter with blood

I see the bruise on my face

I see myself wash off the blood

Wipe away the tears

Force a smile

I see you come up behind me

I see myself turn to face you

Force a smile

You scowl

You raise your hand

I see you shatter my image

I see you leave as I stand

Face the mirror, hide the new bruise

Continue in the lie that engulfs me

I see something that I didn’t want to see
