Shift en Vogue

There’s been a shift in the vogue

It’s wreaking havoc with my mirror

Warping

Cracking

Reflecting and image so distorted

It has to be

Real, beauty is only skin deep

If that skin is unblemished and

Cocoons the correct amount of fat

But I just don’t know because my mirror is

Tarnished by the vogue as it shifts

Torques and twists into a carnival room

Strange, nightmare images

Flickering across the surface

We’re supposed to love ourselves

The way we are, is too thin for

There’s been a shift in the vogue

Thin’s not in

But we still can’t tell what is

Because our mirrors are hypocrites
