Mirror

The mirror’s reflection was false,

Jagged,

Cruel,

Sharp,

It bit,

All teeth and no mercy,

Pointing out every flaw,

Every blemish,

Every place skin was torn,

Every crooked tooth,

No matter how he tugged or pulled at his bandages,

No matter how hard he tried to smile,

His eyes wouldn’t seem to crinkle at the corners,

The jester’s stomach would only want to eject bile.

He waved his hands in various manners,

Begged, "help me, help me please!"

But on the other side of the two-way mirror,

A smile was all that could be seen.
