Mirror Mirror
June 5, 2022
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me, who is the fairest of them all?
Is she pretty? Is she perfect?
Does she have riches? Does she want it?
Does she sing to animals?
Does she bake delicious pies?
Does she have sparkling blue eyes?
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me, why am I not the fairest of them all?
You continue to spill the supposed truth
That she is perfect
Because of her surface
Mirror mirror no longer on the wall
Tell me I’m the fairest of them all
Mirror shard mirror shard
Cutting up my hand
Tell me I’m the most perfect girl in the land

shrek is love
I feel like I live in this world where society is telling me in many forms that "this is what's beautiful, and this is what isn't". And it just always feel like I don't fit there, like I'm caught on a line between wanting to be different and wanting to be considered beautiful. This poem kind of represents that struggle between what you see in the mirror, what you want to see, and what the world sees
