He keeps looking at me
I don't understand why
It sends a shiver down my spine
Why does he keep staring?
His white face glaring from behind the curtain
I wish I could make him stop
I can't close my eyes in case he comes to get me

His red painted star-shaped eyes bore through my skin
His orange hair trembles as he laughs
His rainbow coloured clothes illuminate the poorly lit room

I want to run but my legs won't move
They're glued to the ground in fear
They daren't move in case his feet do the same
And then who knows?
It's unbearable to think

As I lift my hand
He does the same
As I put my hand over my mouth
He does the same
And then I hear my cue from far in the distance
I put on my smile
He does the same
As I leave to play my part
He disappears into the mirror.
