Sister, Sister

When I look into the mirror
I see a little girl.
She is lost and all alone
The memories unfurl....
I force my body into freezing
Try not to feel her wicked tongue
I try so hard to relax
As she kicks the air out of my lungs
"Don't tell mommy and daddy"
She whispers in my ear
"They won't believe a word you say"
And my screams they could not hear.
I close my eyes and gently hum
To distract myself from the pain
She jabs objects in and out of me
Her very own sadistic game
And games do come with penalties
If I don't follow the rules
I know I'm not allowed to scream
Or the "doctor" changes tools.
"You know why happens when you're dramatic"
She switches the curling iron on
"You thought you had to scream before"
And all mercy is withdrawn
She takes the quickly heating iron
And stabs it deep inside me
The pain is too much and I fade out
When I wake she is beside me
"You won't tell mommy and Daddy
Or next time you get it worse"
I shake my head and resign myself
My sister is perverse.
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not seven anymore
So show me where I am now
And not where I have been before
