people say mirrors
can do more than just
reflect light
that they refract your anxiety
and shape them into pictures
to show you what you fear
but the mirror
doesn't bend the body
into uneven layers
of scar tissue
it just stays the same
stays constant in its truth
in the truth
even if your brain twists it
because your mirror will not lie to you
you will-your eyes reflect thoughts
