tell me
tell me
tell me what is happening
the girl stands in the mirror
and places her hand to the glass
to find that her reflection detatches from itself
and turns behind her
and grabs her by the waist
and whispers in her ear
that she is wrong
wrong about everything
wrong about everyone
and asks, "who are you really, underneath?"
"what are you becoming?"
and she watches the shadow melt away
a whisper of unfulfilled promise
promise that is leering
tantalizing
right there in front of her
if only she would summon the courage
to grab it
it appears that change is on the horizon
if only she has the courage to reach for it
