i wonder, have i always looked like this?

is the mirror lying beyond the usual reflection i despise?

does the skin always pale and blotch like it does? have i maybe

fallen into another suit that hides or maybe this is the real one

for once?

i know, for certain, since i can't stand to look or look away that it's there but

do i always look so tired? so worn and glossed over, like

maybe it's just

another doll on strings in a play swaying on stage
