Mirror Me

A mirror, mirror on the wall type poem...

Mirror Me

 

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,

Why don’t you show the truth to all?

 

Mirror, Mirror, why do you lie?

You know that sight is more than eye.

 

Mirror, Mirror, thought is in it too,

Although they don’t know, people choose what to view.

 

Mirror, Mirror, make sure I see,

Not someone else, but the true me.

 

We all have problems, why, it should just be kind,

Letting the world view the true mind.

 

She may be too skinny and he too fat,

But all in all it’s the same place we’re at.

 

Everywhere I may have bruises and scars,

At least now I know how to reach for the stars.

 

Now why be mean and pick out our flaws,

The world should see us down to our cores.

 

Mirror, Mirror, can you now show

This mean world how much we know.

 

Mirror, Mirror, you’re only a reflection

If only people looked past the complexion.

 

World I have given you my life,

Now all I want is you to give your strife.

 

Because according to you, you’re the perfect take,

And I’m put aside like a little mistake.

Author's Note

Do you like the way I've done it? Talking to the mirror on the left, and the world on the right.

A brilliant work! I like the rhyme and rhythm it develops, as much as its essence.

PS: Would you allow me to put this your quote on my page with your name of course?

Yes I love it, brrrilliant concept, I must say! It's attractive and very entertaining.
As far as the prose is concerned, I love the rhyme and I love the truth it tells more.
Great, GREAT job.
