does your skin ever melt into the mirror
do your palms ever reach the other side
will these reflections ever make sense
ever feel familiar
ever seem right
whole
on purpose
do you find yourself, one day
staring back, unsurprised
thinking, i know her well
able to plaster her on billboards and
not shiver with questioned identity
because i am terrified
i’ll never look like the person
i hope to see when i squeeze my eyes shut
will they ever open

This still feels unfinished. I don't know how to finish it.
