monster

the monster in front of her

repulsive and frightening

gave her a response

as quick as lightning

she despised what she saw

she was frustrated in fear

dissecting every weakness

every ugly, little sphere

she felt small compared to it

she felt her soul was sucked away

she hoped whenever she moved from it

that all would be okay

but rather, the image stuck with her

haunting her day by day

decreasing her want to interact

to move, to love, to stay

standing there in shock

the image became clearer

and out of fear she fled

from that monster in the mirror.
