When I look in the mirror, is this assignment that my English teacher gave to my class and I and it was only a line from a movie. But to me, it was a way to express myself by writing this poem. What I would like to do is thank my teacher, Ms. Dillon, that without her assigning this line from a movie to become a poem, I wouldn't have written this. This poem inspired me because it is true, when I look in the mirror, I'll see this glimpse of beauty but then gets covered by all the hate and rude comments that kids gave me. From this poem, I hope to help others that they shouldn't just hate the way they look because it doesn't get you anywhere. Love yourself for who you are and how beautiful/handsome you are. I know times will get tough but I just hope this helps you like it has helped me when I wrote it.
