Reflections Poem by Rebecca Pepper

She looks in the mirror
And all she sees is me
Not the perfect person
Shes always wants to be

So now she will break
This awful connection
And show me the ultimate
Heart-breaking rejection

But even though she tries
To break me with all her might
She cant hurt what isn't here
No good will come from this fight

Screaming no longer helps
Nor do the marks and scars
Nothing will stop us now
We have already gone too far

She claws at her skin, ours
My regrets are in her eyes
Her regrets mingle in my mind
Neither understands truth in lies

Broken shards lay at her feet
But still she sees her reflection, me
The monster inside, silent fear
The beast that only we can see
The being that only she, me, we can be
