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.

I love this to many times we look at the cover not what is inside

So true, what is inside is what really matters! Loved the flow and rhyme. Brilliant poem, well done!

Wow, this is so amazing! You are so right, my friend. It is what is on the inside that counts! But to see that, sometimes we need to crack away the mask we hide behind, the distorted reflection of who we are, to see that. Great work.

Hard to see the perfection when we look in the mirror. I believe each person is special and beautiful in their way. That is a good thing. Would be a boring world if we are all the same. A very good ending to a excellent poem. Create some interesting thoughts.

I like this, the only way to see someones true beauty is to look deeper within them, all beauty fades. But within a person it can last forever! Your poem is great :)

Seems to be what the Queen in Snow White would eventually think when she never really got her way. I like it.
