Prompt 1


Prompt: write about yourself in which nothing is true

 

Ok

Here goes.

When you are me, you can wake up

With a

Smile

Tugging and playing at

The corner of your mouth.

And then you

Rush rush rush

Down the hall

To the bathroom,

Because you

L

 O

    V

      E

The face staring back at you in the mirror.

And your sink and radiator isn't

Covered in products

To try

To hope

To beg

To reach the bare minimum of beauty.
