i swore i had a dream where i walked into the bathroom
eyes barely open..
drowsily with each step i stumbled around the floor which looked more and more blurry with every passing minute..
i was in a room with unrecognizable faces
i kept hearing snickering and and little whispers that just weren’t audible..

i turned on both faucets to the highest pressure
splashed my face
turned on the light
looked at the wall and screamed

”which one of you think you can control me, huh?!”

i looked down at my feet
felt my heart racing
felt the sweat beading on my flushed face
and realized i was yelling at

the mirror..

save me.
