Giving Birth To Despair Poem by Erika Conti

There s my twin sister in the mirror
she looks confused
her eyes are afraid
as if she was to the point of
running away
and hide forever

I see my twin sister in the mirror
she looks abused
half a smile of shame
like if she had better run away
but she couldn't

What happened to you?
Where have you gone? How are you bleeding your heart to death?
aching womb carrying no life
but pain and I ll give birth to despair
