Mirror Me

Look into the mirror-

What do you see?

If you could, 

Who else would you be?

I doubt you would want

To be me.

If you could,

What would you change

That all happen to see?

Would you prefer 

Not to be built

As tall as a tree?

Do you think you have a nose

Seen from sea to smirking sea?

Whoever you are,

I bet you are loved;

Whatever you look like,

I bet you are beautiful

Because you are you-

And I am me. 

We may not always like

The uniqueness that we see-

But we are we;

And we are beautiful,

For there is no other you-

And there is no other me.

I love the message of this poem!! :) It's so well said and so true, so thank you for writing something so inspiring in such a melodious way :) No constructive criticism that I can think of, but I can say that I like your rhyme scheme and how "free" it is, and the rythm is also perfect for your message - it feels nice and quick and jumpy, which gives it a "happy" tone (for lack of a better word) so... It's a good rythm because it matches your message that we have to take things less seriously and should appreciate what we have :) (let me know if I'm totally off about the message haha)

haha no, the message is right I think. I have been wanting to write something like this for a while, and I think I figured that there was no need to dampen or darken the message more than the hidden message behind it in the beginning. Glad you like it!

This is a very beautiful and well written poem. I love the wordchoice and the flow, which is easy to read yet complex in a way.
Well done! ^^
