It’s disgusting

It’s hideous. Why am I looking at it? It’s almost like a car wreck. It’s so bad but I can’t look away. I wonder if everyone sees it with the amount of disgust that I do. I mean how could they not? From my point of view, it has no redeeming qualities. I can’t even imagine someone seeing something decent about it. Then again, I do know it better than most. Some may claim that they know it well enough to make an accurate opinion; and I feel like they would agree with me. There may be a few out there that can’t help but defend it out of guilt. If they knew, what I knew about it, they would not hesitate to abandon its side.

It sickens me to keep looking but I can’t unlock my eyes from it. It looks weak. As though the world has beaten it down. Obviously I am not alone in my opinions, and this thing has experienced life’s wrath.  I can tell this because it looks sad. As though it doesn’t want to continue. I can’t blame it. I mean look at it. It’s disgusting. Maybe I could put it out of its mystery. One punch ought to do it. At least I wouldn’t need to see it anymore. I’m not doing it out of mercy. I’m just tired of looking at it. I clench my fist and throw my hand forward.

I feel the impact against my knuckles as the glass shatters around it. The reflective pieces scatter around me as I exhale deeply. Better. I can’t see it anymore. For now anyways.
