Reflecting Naked

Mirror I saw you today. Yes! I saw you. You, the reflection that looked back at me. I was naked to the world, for the first time like a baby bursting out of a bloody, monstrous womb, crying; I want to go back in. I do not. want to be here Get me out; of this mirror. Get me back into the womb. I do not want to see you, my reflected naked body. My fat, disgust and shame! Push me back in! I do not want to be here anymore. Let these clothes be my protective shell I refuse to see you today.
