Window

There is a girl standing in the window

She looks like me

She smiles like me

She walks like me.

There is a girl staring at me from inside the glass

She has the same eyes

Her face falls the same way mine does

Her hair shades her face like two blonde curtains.

There is a girl looking at me from the other side of the transparent door

She is judging me

She is criticizing the marks horizontally placed on my arms

She is scoping out the lines of my body and disgracing them.

There is a girl laughing at me from the side of the window

She is mocking me

She is torturing me

She is picking up a blade and tracing it across my skin.

There is a girl crying as I watch from this side of the door

She is marking up her arms and sobbing

She is gasping like she is drowning

She is crumpling to the floor.

There is a girl on the other side of the glass

She is standing up to face me with shoulders back and head high

Her arms are covered in red welts

Her eyes are puffy and her face wet

There is a girl coming closer to the window

She is squinting at me, copying what I do

She is lifting her hand to place it to the glass like me

Her eyes are full of pain and fear like mine often are.

There is a girl staring at me in the mirror

She is not me and I am not her

She is the part of my mind I refuse to believe

She is what I have become.

There is a girl standing in the window

She looks like me

She smiles like me

She walks like me.

There is a girl staring at me from inside the glass

She has the same eyes

Her face falls the same way mine does

Her hair shades her face like two blonde curtains.

There is a girl looking at me from the other side of the transparent door

She is judging me

She is criticizing the marks horizontally placed on my arms

She is scoping out the lines of my body and disgracing them.

There is a girl laughing at me from the side of the window

She is mocking me

She is torturing me

She is picking up a blade and tracing it across my skin.

There is a girl crying as I watch from this side of the door

She is marking up her arms and sobbing

She is gasping like she is drowning

She is crumpling to the floor.

There is a girl on the other side of the glass

She is standing up to face me with shoulders back and head high

Her arms are covered in red welts

Her eyes are puffy and her face wet

There is a girl coming closer to the window

She is squinting at me, copying what I do

She is lifting her hand to place it to the glass like me

Her eyes are full of pain and fear like mine often are.

There is a girl staring at me in the mirror

She is not me and I am not her

She is the part of my mind I refuse to believe

She is what I have become.

Frankie!  That girl on the other side of the window is watching and waiting to see who jumps first.  Yes, she mocks and tortures testing your emotional intellect to see if she can break you!  Don't let her!!!  She is trying to inflict an affliction.  Don't let her!!!  No, she is what will "be" once the reflection disappears.

This is an excellent write.  It is my hope that it is purely fiction.
