Dancers Dilemma

Eyes despised glass for one and four hours
Silent and soured by it's manipulative power
By it's truth
 
It weaves delicate knots through the mind 
threads thicken
And lock
Even fact is opinion
 
Am I thin enough?
be the one over there
scared to walk away from it,
My bun is crooked.
 
Deep as the surface into you stare
Ripping hair out from your scalp
Scream I am not what I see 
The Mirror is mocking me!
 
Gauging perfection potential,
Potentially perfect 
Especially worth it
 
The Faux foe said, 
You're Never to grasp the lidless box 
If you can't get past the glass
This poem is about: 
Me
