VISUAL PROMPT

Write a story titled "When I Look in the Mirror".
Mirror Mirror
Mirror mirror on the wall
Show me myself before the fall.
Reflection standing there of mine
Tell me when will I feel fine?
I look, I see, I dawn my mask,
Smiling all day long becomes a task.
Mirror mirror in front of me
Why won't my mind just let me be?
I long to find myself within
But there is pain behind each grin.
Hide yourself, your pain, your truth.
Honesty is best, unless uncouth.
Numbness creeps, I cannot feel
Nothing on this plane seems real.
Mirror mirror reflections true,
Show the seams that come unglued.
I watch myself throughout each day,
Dissociate and emotions gray.
Sometimes it's best to just not exist
This thorough emptiness cannot persist.
Mirror mirror shattered now
Broken pieces on the ground.
Mirror mirror razors edge,
Talk me off this wretched ledge.
Mirror mirror watch me cry
Dawn my mask and tell more lies....
