the mirror

the mirror is my biggest competition

my reflection taunts me

it 

warps 

me 

i’m never 

skinny enough

or 

tan enough

or 

blonde enough

my hair is never 

straight enough

and my style is never

new enough

i’m 

never 

enough 

i could change

everything 

about me

but 

the mirror

would still 

taunt me

Your words might be well laid but, they need a bin!

Anyone who can write such an expressive poem, doesn't need a perpetual mirror; she needs space! She needs trust herself, find her worth and proudly display her wonderful Self!

Your mirror is only a reflection - the you of YOU is more than real, is far, far more than a clone
