Reflection Poem by Adg

“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all? ”
“only you, ” her reflection replied
“only you, it cannot be denied.”
And so she laughed,
And walked away.
A glance in the mirror,
Another day.
Time and time, this went on,
Soon her ego, grew to be strong.
Then her reflection knew what to do
To tame the shallowness,
That it had grew.
“mirror, mirror on the wall
who’s the fairest of them all? ”
“an ugly face, an ugly heart.
You aren’t pretty, you aren’t smart! ”
Out of anger and rage she threw that mirror down
She shattered it’s glass
But her pain did not drown.
And then she knew what was left to do,
As she did it, twas like déjà vu.
If only the mirror hadn’t had lied,
They’d both be here, they never had died.
But in the end, it couldn’t be clearer,
Never trust what you see in the mirror
