Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Rhyme

In the Mirror

Who is that in the mirror?
How do I know those eyes?
I swear I’ve seen you before
I’ve once tasted these lies.
Who is that in the mirror?
How do I know that face?
Hey, don’t I know you,
familiar in your white lace?
Who is that in the mirror?
I know that greed,I swear
I’ve seen that in another's eyes,
while silently they bleed.
Who is that in the mirror?
How is it you look like me?
With skin so fair and pale
asking, "What is beauty?"
Who is that in the mirror?
No please..I don’t know your name
please, tell me what you want
because I don’t like this game.
Who is that in the mirror?
please, just go away,
I can’t look into those eyes,
that so cruel, want to play.
Who is that in the mirror?
Who is this girl,
I see reflected back
a puppet to the world.
Who is that in the mirror,
with ripped and bloody skin,
I see watching me,
pale and cold like the mannequin?
Who is that in the mirror,
clawing at the frame,
can you please tell me?
Because, I don’t remember her name.
