Challenge
Your reflection in the mirror shows who you are inside. It does not show your face but your soul. Write about it.
A Vampire’s Reflection
I see nothing,
No vision,
No substance,
No soul.
I am nothing
Without my exterior,
Because I am empty inside.
All I am
Is what others make me.
I mold myself to
Be exactly what they want,
What they need.
But there is no me
Underneath.
I have spent so long
Wearing a mask,
Believing the mask,
Becoming the mask,
That the mask has
Melted everything
Underneath.
Like a vampire
With blood upon
Its lips and death
In its eyes,
My true reflection
Shows nothing
Because there is nothing
Beneath to show.
I am just an
Empty suit of skin,
Wrapped around
A column of hot air.
