Sometimes, while doing the mundane
an overbearing sadness arrests the brain,
and no matter how good was the day
it will be washed away,
sliding down the drain.
a very selfish girl,
a critic at heart,
Nothing is ever good enough;
it will be torn apart.
Do not chew like a cartoon,
Do not wear purple polka dots,
Do not hum a tune
Do not buy forget-me-nots,
Do not accept a silver spoon
Do not smoke ***
Do not wake up at noon.
The list could go on.
There are no exceptions,
and when there is nowhere left to turn,
She finds the reflection
of the impossible girl.
