Mirrors

You always fail.

You're just like her, idiot.

You never do that, what's wrong with you?

The mind is tricky and says many things

when you are alone with it.

Mean things.

Hurtful things.

Sometimes true,

sometimes

not.

Being aware can help,

but being aware of a bully isn't enough

when you can see them coming;

you're split in half

distorting yourself to fight 

a reflection that is so familiar

and yet not.
