The Enemy Within

My eyes divert

from the image

in the mirror.

Looking back at me

Judgemental pools

of hazel.

Am I good enough?

Am I strong enough?

Am I intelligent enough?

My lips move

in silence,

But the barbaric yelp

Screaming back

at me

Says,

"no, no, no...

Now smile pretty

for me.".

I look away,

and smile

Pretty

for them.
