Bloody Mary (Or the One About Deadnaming Yourself)

gather all of your self-doubt and your courage
and any mirror you haven't already smashed
and yourself

and make sure it's night
(just because)
and don't forget what the wikipedia page said

and now comes the hardest part,
look in the mirror;
see yourself
chant chant chant chant chant chant
chant chant chant chant chant chant
chant

 (i hope you didn't close your eyes)
 now tell me, was it yourself you saw staring back
covered in blood?
