 I see this reflection,

 It's anything but perfection.

 I see it clocking me--mocking me,  

 Won't stop stalking me.

I'm freaking out.

I want to shout,

but I can't find the words.

My voice is enchanted by this curse.

I turn left, I turn right,

but the mad women is right.

It doesnt matter what I do, 

for this women will do it too.

I have this fear, this confusion, this hatred,

for this woman who looks like me. 

She hurts my heart;

its hard to breathe.

I keep on blinking

she's all I see;

I find my voice,

I start to scream.

Hoping, praying, this is a just dream.

But I look in her eyes

and realize, 

something so cruel

I begin to cry.

This woman's words were nothing but true,

For she had said:

"You can't escape me, I'm you"
