Funhouse
I don't like to stare too long at myself in the mirror.
I notice the tan lines, and the shrinking of my breasts,
and I turn away.
I do not know what I look for.
Bruises that do not exist. Taut-flesh that hangs loose.
I look for some proof of what I went through.
Scars I was unfamiliar with bubble up years later under scrutiny,
and I curl a lip.
What do I have to show for this?
I know I haven't gained that much weight, or lost that much muscle, and my skin cant truly look this dull so quickly. But I see through funhouse eyes, at a genocidal body.
