Looking

My face is falling off
One chunk at a time.
I’m running out of skin
And searching for a mask.
I’m shrugging off my hair –
It’s turning gray, it’s decaying.  

I wish my costume were more convincing,
But my smile is made of glass, and
My hair’s been struck by lightning.  

Someone has broken my mirror –
The shards are a year away.
