The Mirror By Mandi Daddona
I sit in front of this bright reflector And it tells me so much. I see every flaw and characteristic that is unwanted. And as I look deeper, I begin to see less and less.
What I once thought was an alright feature Has become something that needs Dramatic alteration...
As I gaze longer into this mirror, I become more and more self-conscious. Seeing people I wish I looked like- And now I am soon forgetting My own identity. Because I am consumed with the power of My image; Making me less and less of the person I once was believed to be.
