The Mirror

A/N This poem is not the greatest, but it is dedicated to the most beautiful girl in the world. So if you could do me a favor, and please tell her that, because I don't think she knows.

She's the most beautiful girl

But she can't even see it anymore

Her mother took away her mirror

And made her rotten to the core

Made her starve herself to perfection

But it was never good enough

So she made her cut her wrists

Because the pressure was too much

And now this beautiful girl

Has become just one more butterfly

Unable to see her own pretty wings

That flap like stars up in the night sky

She is blind.

And no matter how much you tell her

Her mother will always be her mirror

And all the compliments you give her

Will just as suddenly dissapear

Because there is nothing you can do

To change how she sees herself to be

But even though...even though she'll never know

She will always be perfect to me.

So, when she is ready to finally take notice

I will take her mother's place

And as I hold the mirror in my hands

I will show her the true image of her face.
