Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

A Poem by MandaBear
"

Just something that came to mind:) Love or Hate?

"
Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
All I see is someone that's short and small.
Looking back at a cracked reflection,
Seeing all the imperfections.
What can you break?
Can you fix broken glass?

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Surely someone else is fairest of all.
How can this beast be beautiful?
With hair so frayed;
Skin so pale,
Heart so cold and black?
And for what; a mirror cracked?
Shattered broken glass?

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
To what do you have to say?

You are beautiful no matter what I say,
I know its what inside that counts

But sometimes to see someones insides
You need to see less of their outsides.

Hmm, this is a sweet, yet powerful write. Amazing job. I love this because when I look at myself with each of my problems. That I'm too fat, too ugly, my hairs a wreck. I love this because I can relate to it and I love the fact that you wrote about this. Nice job (:

Loving the rhythm here! A superb write, full of truth: Despite what the mirror says, we are all beautiful and unique!

Definitely an addition to the library!! ;)

Keep up the good work!! :)
