Familiar Stranger

The mirror has a new tenant.

I don't like her much at all.

The lady who used to live there

was much easier to deal with!

-She was always pleasant!

-She was a good mom.

-She got kids to school on time.

-She cooked dinner in the evening.

-She sat at practices and games. She didn't have panic attacks like a psycho

-She didn't fixate on possibilities

-She got to work on time

She had her S H I T • T O G E T H E R

Except maybe she drank too much liquor

•She might've smoked too many cigarettes

•She yelled and argued everyday

•She cried more often than that

•she hated her life

The woman in the mirror now is a problem.

This one is a mess.

A complete fucking mess.

Except, she still hates herself
