Copy Her
Summary: Mirrors only show you what you think you see.
Tess looked
At the wall
It was shiny
And metallic
And she saw
Someone that
Looked exactly like
Herself
In it
She was surprised
She put her head
To the side
And so did the other person
She gasped
And let her hand
Fly to her mouth
The other blonde
Did the same
She shook her head
As did the other
Drunk-off-her-ass whore
Tess kicked her leg up
Randomly
So did the other
Blue-eyed "beauty"
Tess kneeled down
Like the savage she truly is
And so did the other savage
Tess ran her hands
Through her hair
As did the other
Bitch
Tess got angry
As she usually did at parties
Like this one
She sat down
On an already occupied seat
And gave the man
(Lucky bastard)
A saucy lap-dance
But let out an angry whimper
As the other slut did the same
Tess pushed another girl
Away from her dancing partner
And began grinding against the guy
She growled as the spray-tanned
Poseur
Did the same
Didn't this
Idiot
Know who she was messing with?
Tess (flippin') Tyler
That's who
So Tess continued on her raids
But the girl
On the wall
Did the same
Thing as Tess the entire time
And Tess screamed
As she grabbed
The last thing left
The shiny metal blade
Crossed her wrist
And she watched the blood
Drip slowly
From her wrist
She looked at the mirror
Expecting to see the same thing
But she didn't
The girl on the wall
Just stared at Tess
And shook her head
Ashamed
As she walked away
Tess watched her go
And then looked down at her
Bloody wrist
Realizing that
Mirrors don't always tell the truth
They can lie
Just as easily as any person
And they show you
What you think you're seeing
Mirrors only show you
What you expect to see
And add the flaws
The mistakes that aren't really there
The problems that are only
A trick of the mind
So Tess looked
At the mirror again
And saw herself
Standing there
Looking back at herself
Innocently
Sadness eveident in her
Blue-gray eyes
And she finally realized
That perfection
Could never be achieved
As long as those stupid mirrors would
Copy Her
Okay. Definitely not my best. Not even close, but it was an idea that needed to be posted.
