Mirror on the Wall

Looking at the mirror who

judges all that she sees.

Hair, too long, too thick.

Lips, too dry, too hard to attempt a smile.

Eyes, too big, too brown.

From her toes to her nose

she stands before

the long, golden plated mirror.

As tears form, rolling down her

dimpled cheeks, and hang

at the cliff of her face in mid fall.

A time has come, thought she....

to put away these judges of

our Beauty,

to live a life of glamour in all eyes,

no matter the shape, color or size.

With a flick of her wrist,

the makeup kit smashes

into her tormentor,

the glass mirror.
