Ghost With The Pink Razor
Jenelle Marie Dayton
Ghost With the Pink Razor
One day when I looked in the mirror,
There really was nothing to see,
No small spark of clear recognition,
Assuredly no sign of me.
I scratched my head and wondered, �Why?�
Yesterday my sides were throbbing�.I remember�.
Did I die?
Perhaps this is only a nightmare,
A delusion of grief and despair��
But I pinch the parched skin on my body,
And shake my little bitty head�I�m just not really there.
Eyes�.these ugly eyes, they�re as pink as cotton candy,
And filled with tears,
I listlessly stare into the reflection I don�t understand,
I don�t understand it because�..well�..it�s not me!
This skin that I�ve laid these unfamiliar hands on,
It�s got shades of white like a ghost of myself I�ve never seen,
Crying, �God help me!�
This girl doesn�t seem to belong�.
Who is she? Really?
The arms I see extended down this emaciated frame,
These arms�..are like twigs�.
I gasp as I study closer�..
This girl�.this ghost
This thing!
I don�t understand her.
As I look at these arms�.well now, now I see her frame.
What happened to this girl, and why is she so skeletal?
Now this is the proof I was looking for,
It�s a ghost in the mirror I see�.
Of a girl who once lived a life
But now she�s a ghost,
Who is only perceived by my sight.
She must have starved to death, I think.
For as I lift this girls shirt,
I see these ribs protruding,
I don�t understand�.
It�s all such a shock,
My eyes pop wide open�..
I pant like a dog��
This girl is imitating my every move in the mirror.
I see her doing it now.
Her shirt is lifted up and I see her face full of horror,
Her breathing is heavy and her chest is throbbing in and out.
She is in shock�.just like me?
Her hands are shaking cold,
I can see her swallowing and trying to catch her breath.
I back away from the mirror and see her back away from me,
Her legs are bony little sticks�..
I don�t see how she holds herself up every day,
And I can see her growing waddly and unsteady.
It like a car crash,
You want to look away,
But you can�t,
The sight is awful,
It�s eating away at me,
I want her to disappear�..
But the more I want it to happen,
The more I know she�s staying.
The darkness of my room is bitter,
I look down at this girls skinny little feet,
Bare�.planted into the ground.
She looks helpless�..
And I wish I could reach out and hold her hand,
But as I reach my hand hits the mirror, and I draw it back distastefully.
I hate this geometric piece of glass,
That�s causing me this grief,
It�s feeding me lies,
It�s telling me that I am this girl�..
Because that is what you see when you look in the mirror�..yourself.
I know better and I will not let this object defeat me,
But all the same�..what happened to me?
I quickly run to the bathroom, and grab a razor.
This girl will go away once she is hurt,
And will never come back to haunt me again.
I don�t know how it happened or why��
But she will learn never to disturb me again.
I walk back to my room and see this girl,
Yet now the horror is masked with anger,
Who is she angry with?
I seems she is looking back at me.
I pound my fist into the mirror,
But I barely make a dent,
And my knuckles bleed.
The girl is looking down at her hands, just like me.
I hold the pink razor firmly in my hand,
This girl has agitated me too long.
I slit across the girl�s wrist�..very hard.
But what is this? Something goes so wrong.
Why do I feel the pain?
I fall down to the ground as fresh tears flow down my eyes and blood drips down both sides and stains my pajama pants.
I look in the mirror now, and am disturbed at what I see.
This girl�s arm has a fresh bleeding cut,
Just like me.
I look into the girl�s hand and see it�s covered in blood that dripped down her arm.
Her and I are both feeling the pain of the razor�s touch.
And as I look closer I finally see,
What seems to be an eye opener for me,
Her inner forearms are covered with scars�.
Some deep, and some look as if they went twice over,
This new wound was the lowest one,
Far below the other ones on top.
I see spots of blood on the floor,
But some are dried��
As if the came from long before��
I then look up, into this girls eyes, and for a moment I recognize�..
I believe it was just yesterday, looking into the mirror, and seeing the same face,
Mirror, mirror, you enemy!
I suddenly see this girl as part of me.
This isn�t right and isn�t fair.
�She isn�t me!� I scream, �I swear!�
But suddenly, I hear footsteps�.
I hear a voice from behind the door,
�Honey, are you okay?�
�I�m fine,� I say.
Just then I look in the mirror,
And tears fill my eyes as I see,
This monster that I have created,
Is achingly, heart-breakingly, me.
