Reflections
I'm falling in a minefield of mirrors.
I escape collision with each one,
but I can't escape my reflection.
I'm in a freefall,
yet gravity is quiet,
my body calm.
I pass a mirror I'm smiling in.
I like what I see.
Fit. Skinny.
But it's only fleeting.
I gracefully drop to the next mirror.
The smile is gone.
I'm fit.
No wait.
I'm fat.
The mirror dissappears.
The freefall continues.
This time, I want one of the mirrors to shatter.
Then the glass pieces would fly at me,
ripping my skin apart until I was only bones.
