Reflections - Poem

Reflections are interesting For they are not real They do not represent the beholder At least not to a full extent But society praises reflection The same waist as that model The same hairstyle as that artist The same outfit as that one popular girl in your class. Reflections. I’m terrified of mirrors. I shy away from the very sight of my face. My reflection isn’t enough. It’s not enough for them. It’s not enough for you. It’s not enough for me. It’s not enough. Reflections. Yet you mock me. You tell me to fix my hair You tell me to change my clothes You tell me to be pretty. Im not pretty.
