Monstrosities wade knee-deep through the filth that floods my mind. <br /> <br />I entertain them for a moment, then open up my eyes. <br /> <br />Staring at me is my own reflection, made eerie in the water- <br /> <br />Worse than it was in my memory; an image I must slaughter. <br /> <br />Three fingers find the courage to lead this monster away <br /> <br />And as she leaves, the image in the water starts to sway. <br /> <br />Long minutes take their time and I wipe my image clean. <br /> <br />Surely the woman I'm seeing now can not be me. <br /> <br />Tears astray, <br /> <br />I fall from grace: <br /> <br />With open arms I'm welcomed back into this empty place. <br /> <br />Never good, <br /> <br />Never right, <br /> <br />I must pay for every calorie before I sleep tonight.<br /><br />Jessy Liz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zombie-9/
