Mirror, Mirror


She looked in the mirror.
The cold,
Unforgiving,
Mirror.

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

That exposes what you are;
What you
Look like.

But she,
Sees it differently
Than others do.

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

She
Found a million things wrong
With what she saw.

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

Her hair: greasy, gangly, gross
Her skin: dry, dirty, disgusting
Her lips: slender slivers
Her eyes: uneven, unexceptional, unfavorable

And through her eyes,
She saw

Her soul: doubting, disappointed and turned dormant.


Could there be a fairest one of all?
