A reflection of a masterpiece...

Is what they all say

It's the beauty within

Not the skin

And the heart you foster

That you put in everyone's hands

To admire perhaps

Or to discard

...

A mirror is deceiving

"Learning to love your imperfections"

Is what it's trying to convey

Supposedly touching the mirror and hoping my flaws would all disappear into thin air

Or glimmer my entire being into sparkling dust

But...

"My imperfections are what make me... Me"

...

A body

My body?

Your body?

A masterpiece or

Something drool-worthy

Or it's yours?

It's mine?

Is it that

My body

Is for temporary happiness...?

Or another

Tool

To be used

Then thrown

Into the pit of fire

To burn

All my flaws

My mistakes

My mishaps

Is it where I belong?

...

After all,

The mirror isn't deceiving me

The mirror speaks only the truth

My hand rubs against my reflection

A smile plays along my face

And a punch to yours truly

Not that I would mind the blood, it's there to wake me up...

To think that

I only liked the reflection before me

For my body could be used

As an offering.
