[Thoughts Right Now]

reflection

I find myself looking in the mirror and pulling faces, waiting to catch the moment where my reflection betrays me by winking when it shouldn’t or frowning when I’m smiling. I’m still haunted by that dream I had not too long ago: I walk into the bathroom and look in the mirror. The reflection that looks back with a vacant stare isn’t me. I talk, cry, scream but the reflection stays stoic, betraying my true self, or perhaps indeed I’m the one betraying it. I never know which is more real.

The reflection
...or the girl looking into the mirror trying to trick it?
