my mirror and my shards

are you perfect?

Stopping for a moment and checking myself out,

In front of that object which reflects a ditto of me on the opposite side.

If a little force is applied,this object will shatter and become nothing more than shards

Yes,this object portrays me so accurately as a perfectionist!

"Mirror,mirror on the wall,who is the fairest of them all?'cannot be expressed,

Since, I am not an Evil Queen from the fairy tales.

They say fairies do not exist and concentrate on your math assignment,dear child,

Teaching me pragmatism and facts by overlooking those diminutive molecules of fantasy that breed and grow in me like a vermin.

I have stopped checking myself out.I have stopped!

Because I prefer these broken shards of fantasy and imperfection,rather than going for an attractive mirror which reflects my false perfection.

good one, indeed the mirror cannot be right since it reflects you the other way round, sad to say we never really know how we truly look but if you prefer shards then i'm with you, sounds good to me, great writing........er, i can't call you fatty since you are so clearly not, oh well, thank you for sharing my new friend :)

[fattycbreezy52]

hehehe you can call me breezy or fatty.Everyone calls me either of the one out here.Thanks for the review and yes i definitely prefer those shards and so do you.So must say,a good choice.

[R Smith]

I think Breezy is far the nicer, you look breezy in your photo and thanks for being friends :)

this poem made me think it is the right time to find a better mirror, to look a bit closer, and to keep reflecting thy true self. Embracing who we are, and what makes us feel alive, then doing that is the gist of our existence. The world can continue to bring their spotlight on us, when we are confident of who we are, we can do nothing but say: BRING IT ON! :D
(tell me how do I call you? :D and thank you for liking my music choice - need to see your choice and see whether we have similar taste or not :)

[fattycbreezy52]

[fattycbreezy52]

Imagine how much power we instill in this mere piece of silver glass. How it has the power to make us feel good or horrible depending on what it reflects back. The third line in the first stanza made me realise that it is we who allow the mirror to control us and we can always free ourselves from it.....Good one Fatty- this injected a new thought into my head....mirrors always disappoint me and make me feel bad. Maybe its time i did something about that.
Great write girl :)

[fattycbreezy52]

Thanks Annie. I love the way you always understand me and my pieces. You are a sweetheart;:*:)

[GingerPocky]

I feel like this poem was really forced

[fattycbreezy52]

Oh forced? Why would you think so?
You can say that the writer was forced to write it;)

[GingerPocky]

That's just the impression I get from reading it

[fattycbreezy52]

Yes, absolutely correct:):D
