Her minuscule reflection stares back at her.
She is tempted to shut her eyes tightly,
but that would only give the name of defeat a hollow victory.
Mirror: " Why do you want to turn away from me? "
The eyes of "I" widened.
She never thought that the mirror would ask her such a question.
I: B-because you're intimidating,"
Mirror: "Well, I don't mean to be," said the mirror. " It's not my fault that you fear me. People let their emotions turn into infected wounds. It's a mind game."
"I" looked puzzled.
I: "Have you ever thought that people may feel insecure whenever they look at you?"
Mirror: "Hmm...It's occurred to me once or twice. "
The Mirror paused for a moment.
Mirror: "It's amazing what people say to themselves when I show them their reflection. Some of it is funny. Some of it is simply sad. Some grab their stomachs, wishing to be a size zero. Some rub their small backsides, wishing that they were much bigger. It's entertainingly awkward to me."
I: "Well...What do you think of me?"
Mirror: "Why should I answer that?"
I: "To satisfy my curiosity of...typical validation."
Mirror: "If you want to be validated, go into society and ask someone your age. That's not the wisest decision one could make, but my purpose isn't validating anyone. I just reflect whatever I see. That's it."
I: "But...you must tell me something!"
Mirror: "That's not my job, though. Only the spirit within the body can chose to love their being and everything that they are. I can't make anyone do that, and my opinion won't help your self confidence to benefit, at all."
I: " I...I wish I could love myself. It's always so hard for me to even come in this room and face you. You're not making it any easier, right now."
Mirror: "As I said before, only the spirit within the body can-"
I: "I CAN'T! I KEEP TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT! I'VE TRIED COUNTLESS TIMES! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"
Mirror: "Your inside emotions are stubborn, and your mouth is weak. No wonder you've driven everyone around you away. You make people feel uncomfortable."
* "I" bites her lip while standing in discouragement.
Mirror: "I hope you're not always this way. I hope you learn to ease your thoughts."
Without looking back, "I" runs away from the mirror, on the verge of tears.
Even her own reflection can't understand her.

Dear Suicide...
Poetry(#12 in Poetry- 3/5/17 |14 in Poetry- 2/28/17 |23 in Poetry- 11/18/16) Have you ever considered picking up a pen and writing to the one you fear most? Well, that's what I've done. When I write to my fears, It's oddly satisfying, because I know that...
