Look in the mirror

What do you see?

Grab the shadows

Grab the powders


Look in the mirror

What do you see?

Grab the straightener

Grab the hairspray


Look in the mirror

What do you see?

Grab the perfume

Change the outfit


Look in the mirror

What do you see?

Someone who’s happy?

Someone who’s sad?

Someone who is getting ready to face the day.


The author's comments:

This piece is supposed to represent the topic of how many people see themselves and choose to get ready. I wanted to keep the poem up to interpretation to the reader to decide whether the person getting ready is happy about how they look or are they struggling with self esteem and want to change themselves.
