Mirror, Please Don't Lie

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall

who is the fairest of them all?

Don't say it's me,

I'm sick of the lies,

I see no beauty in my flat brown eyes.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall

it's not your job to lie to me,

it's your job to pick the Queen

I am but Snow White,

skin pale,

eyes dark as night.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall

you said I am beautiful.

Maybe in your time,

but in mine,

blonde and blue eyed

is desired.

Oh, don't forget stick thin,

Snow White here has a bit of meat on her bones,

covered by the pale freckled skin of snow.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,

please don't lie,

fast forward through time,

and tell me the truth.

I like the poem. I believe most of us look into the mirror and wish for more or less. I like the flow of thoughts and the very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really like the connections to the fairy tale and the "fast forward through time, and tell me the truth" part. Great work.
