I looked in the mirror today
And there was an outline I had never seen before
Something so delicate
And so faint
That traced my entire frame
I couldn’t decide if I liked it
And if I liked the way it tickled my flesh,
the way it filled my veins and senses
It hurt me when I didn’t know if the light was beautiful
Or if it was burning me alive
