I think the mirror is lying. The face I see cannot be mine. How can it be? The girl looking back at me looks put together. Beautiful, even. Her skin shines. Her eyes hide no secrets. Her body stands like it belongs to her. I think my mirror is lying. That girl is not broken. Her smile is not cracked. It reaches her eyes. She does not look like me. She does not. I am telling you. She is whole. So tell me— is it the mirror that lies? Or is it you? You who say I am broken. The mirror shows me a whole girl. Who is lying?

The Mirror Is Lying
I think the mirror is lying. The face I see cannot be mine. How can it be? The girl looking back at me looks put together. Beautiful, even. Her skin shines. Her eyes hide no secrets. Her body stands like it belongs to her. I think my mirror is lying. That girl is not broken. Her smile is not cracked. It reaches her eyes. She does not look like me. She does not. I am telling you. She is whole. So tell me— is it the mirror that lies? Or is it you? You who say I am broken. The mirror shows me a whole girl. Who is lying?
