Judgemental Mirror

Judgemental Mirror

A Poem by Sanctuary Dementia
"

I have said this before, but I hate mirrors..... I cant stand to look at myself, sometimes all I want to do is to cut away all my imperfections.....

"

Mirror standing in judgmental view

Inescapable honesty staring back

Physical happiness found in thinness

Otherwise upon the body falls attack

Minimal eating merely required to stay alive

Identity found in anothers perception

The ideal reminded every waking second

Getting under your skin; an inner infection

Suffering portrayed by worldwide obesity

Anorexia, bulimia, nothing really but a question

Modern convenience to be always ignored

Too fat! Too fat! Teachers announce in a lesson

Society must be pleased to live today

Day by day I walk the path

Food deprived, sleep deprived, am I perfect yet?

Store bought chicken girl the fat falling in a mess of wrath

Looking into the mirror… “Is that me?”

Far too ugly never to find perfections balance

Living onward whispering what nobody does see

Yet asking again, leaving the choice to chance…

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, am I thin enough yet?”
