MURDERING HER SELF

she felt like
her own understudy
who never gets to go on

oh how she hated
her public persona
could ****** herself

"Am I really this...
. . .shallow?" she cries
in the depths of her despair

"Oh how I wish I
could be anyone but me!"
she tells the mirror

she leaves her real self
still trapped in the mirror
became the self they all knew
