The Mirror

I looked in the mirror this morning
I saw you staring back at me
with your cold
disapproving gaze
penetrating my heart
knowing what truth lies there

you do not understand
have never understood

I hate you for it
for a life of never feeling good enough
of letting myself down
because I held myself to your standard
unknown and relentless

so I turned away rather than
admit defeat
