#microtales #doppelganger

When I wake up in the morning, she yawns,
When I brush my teeth and look in the mirror, she grins a lacerated smile,
When I take a bath, she sings,
When I get angry, she screams,
When I get sad, she wails ,
When I go quiet, she shouts,
The nights I feel like killing someone, she comes home covered in blood,
She goes wherever I go, she sleeps in my bed.
She's my shadow which will never leave.
She's a part of me.

She is my doppelganger.
