    I had hoped one day to find someone

    who loves my monsters,

    the wolves that I feed,

    the demons I sing to sleep

    the tiger that is my caged heart

    the parts of me I do not talk about

    I prayed and wished and yearned

    When you see your daughter falling into that trap the mirror has been creating for you and every woman before you: ‘Your nose is too long, look at that acne, you have strange eyes,’ a thousand flaws on one small form, pull her aside and remind her that mirrors aren’t a true reflection of the person you are on the inside.
