In a mirror
On a wall
Is seen the fairest
Of them all
But the fairest
Is not she
The one who gazes miserably
For the mirror is blind
To what goes on in her mind
But if it could peek
Perhaps it would see
That inside, she was pretty
Gorgeous, even
Some might say
But she won’t live
To see the day
That the mirror on the wall
And the people in the hall
Will look beyond
Her mask of flesh
And see that she
Is the fairest

This poem was originally written as a school assignment, as a reflection to a journal entry we wrote. If you've ever read Bronx Masquerade, you'll understand the connection. It's about me, I suppose.
