A Humbling Reflection

You return again
In perfect timing -
A beacon.

Such arrogance you portray
Matching a red diner dress -
A fatal ego killer.
So small… 
Yet a monster -
A mountain of rage.
Builds inside me
Sitting there in all your glory
Starring right through me.
Oh humbling blemish -
Who never comes on a Saturday
When I can hide.

The visitor that overstays
His welcome -
Now in my mirror.
