No Mercy

No Mercy
by Alicia Millar

No self-esteem,
your gaze seems to say
- accuse, rather
as if it were a crime,
something to be ashamed of
and cause unbearable guilt.
How DARE you hate yourself?
While kids starve in Africa and the Haitians look for aid.
Those are REAL people with REAL problems.
Honestly, what right do you have?

And all I can do is offer my excuses:
Because...Because...Because...

But the reflection never has mercy.
