A Funhouse Mirror

A true reflection?

She saw her true reflection

and so much rejection

then it spoke to her and said,

“Today

I hurt

Today

I’m tired

Today

I’m feeling uninspired

Please be kind to me. Don’t talk to me that way.”

So, she stepped away

There would be no more today.

The mind can be

a funhouse mirror

when illusions filter through

and insulting ourselves

can be so easy to do
