Handheld self-esteem lowerer. 

One side is shiny and silver with designs fit for a princess.

The other, a reflection of the monstrous face that peers into it.

I hold in my hand the face that I hate to see.

I call it my Cinderella mirror,

so that one day maybe I'll see myself as such.

I was inspired to write this piece when I discovered my favorite mirror shattered on my bedroom floor one evening. It broke my heart to see it broken, but it also made me feel better because I didn't have to look at myself in it any longer.
