Mirror, mirror

Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Tell me, who is the fairest of all?
Be it me
Or her?
Or anyone at all?
We as humans are not perfect
Though we strive to be
We want to be everything
That pretty girl on the cover of the magazine
We put make up on
We put on our masks
Never letting it drop
Never letting someone get a glimpse of the perfect being inside
We all strive to be different,
But we never look deeply in the mirror
Never seeing ourselves
We just look in the mirror and try to erase the ugly
No one is ugly
No matter what you say
You are beautiful in every way

beautiful, I especially like the way you start with a classic limerick and then make it your own, quite a brave move but it works.

Comment by katieperkins23: Aug 25, 2008 12:35 am
i like this. we all try to cover up in the mirror what we don't want to see. because we all try to compete with all the beauty in the world. when in actuality we are all beautiful, just in different ways.
