Worst Nightmare

She stared at the girl that stood in front of her.

Her bones stuck out of her cheeks, hollow and dark.

She looked like skin and bones.

Bags sat under her eyes

She shook slightly not able to stop it.

Her body ached

She felt as though she wasn't able to hold herself up 

How had she let herself change into the person standing in front of her?

She’d promised herself she wouldn’t.

But she had to accept... sooner or later...

That the girl standing in the mirror was herself.

And her worst nightmare had kicked in again.
