Took Off Face To Check My Emotions

I took off my face to check my emotions Were they the same as in the mirror? How would you know? A snotty voice asked. When was the last time you looked there? This prissy inflated voice was easy to ignore. The face turned and glared at me. Angry about something; not sure what. Has someone wronged me? Was my cereal cold? I hate you! The voice said. This was no surprise. The face has hated me for years, why not the voice? I took my pill and tried to die but of course it did not work. So, I made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. The face stuck out a salivating tongue and the eyes grinned. I put her back onto my body and we went about our day. Both of us in better moods. We never did look into a mirror.

(chuckling) When I look into my mirror, I see a sad reflection of this good-looking guy (me) I once knew. Where he went, I'll never know.
