The Wretched Reflection

Why are you such a fractured reality?

You do everything I do, yet without the grace and the subtlety.

You’re ugly, yet familiar.

As if I’ve known you my whole life but avoid you on purpose.

Get away from me foul soul – let me be rid of you!

Yet still, you follow me around in my shadow and appear before me in the bathroom.

Wretched reflection.
