In the Mirror - Riley Parrish

In the Mirror When I wake in the morning I drag my body to the bathroom and Watch my double in the small rectangle mirror. My eyes travel down their draw line to their neck Eventually landing on their chest. I unclasp the back of my bra and watch as Both breasts fall from the pockets they laid in Hitting the skin underneath and drooping towards The floor. I stare at my uncolored stretch marks Jaggedly running down each breast starting below My collar bone and ending near my areola. It’s weird to see something attached to your body That doesn’t feel like it should be there. Heavy sagging Sacks hanging by my elastic but breaking skin. But worst of all They make me feel Feminine.
