Snip snip snipping

Standing in the mirror cutting away the hair just incase there’s a way to make my face less his face more my own

I consider shaving my head

No one would notice

The mirror whispers

Why is everything you do a cry for help?

Writing, hair cutting, talking,

Everything.

Why don’t you just say what you need

You do know what you need don’t you?

You’re human just say what you need

You don’t know what you need.

It used to be okay

It’s not anymore you’re a grown adult; tell people what you need stop hinting that you need help and

I blink in the mirror

It says such cruel things with all the optimism of a glass wall

With a foil back

To make it reflect

It doesn’t know what happens when you ask for what you need

It’s better to forget

Needing anything

And snip

Away

The similarities
