Looking in the mirror. I’ve never seemed so small. So small. It’s never been so clearer. In all my life, I have never been so shy. Unhappy with what I saw but somehow giving aquatic chic. A fish face looked back, with scales, and eyes, and lips which pucker like so. As if Kylie Jenner herself became a fish. What could be worse. I panicked. Stepping back, always ready to hit the whoa but I fumbled. Falling, flapping, findaples and all. I blubbed and I swashed, I did it all for show. No one else could know. What am I?
