Waking Up


When I wake up in the morning, I am completely myself for fifteen minutes.

That's how long it takes me to roll out of bed, check my email and gather clothes for a shower. Then I look in the bathroom mirror and the illusion is shattered.

After that, I'm just the girl in the mirror, not the person I woke up as.

Maybe some day I'll wake up, roll out of bed, check my email and head to the shower only to look in the mirror and see the person that I wake up as.

but that endeavor could take a lifetime.

You're only human. *shrug* Nix the mirror, or draw in a happy face or the words "you are beautiful." Something that keeps you wanting to stay yourself for longer than 15 minutes.

I'd love to see the real you.
