Where Is Pretty? Poem by Aqua Flower

Where Is Pretty?

Rating: 5.0


I don't see pretty
looking in the mirror at me
I keep asking
where is she?
where did pretty go?
no one will know
she was once there in the mirror
now I can't see her
where could pretty be?
pretty, come back to me

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is about low self esteem and inadequacy.Pretty could not be seen even if pretty was in the mirror.This is one interpretation of the poem.The second interpretation is about aging.Where we lose our outer beauty our youthfulness.This I believe is when it becomes more important to rely on our inner beautiful which will radiate from our souls.This kind of pretty, I believe, is the sustaining kind.

When you start to lose yourself it doesn't matter what is reflected in the mirror, you will not like what you see unless you like the person you are. Inner beauty shines brighter and lasts longer that physical beauty. A good poem and a 10.

Liking and loving yourself is the first step to finding that beauty reflected back in the mirror! Thank you for your comment and appreciation.

We feel inner beauty and see outer beauty. Inner beauty is so perfect. This is really a beautiful philosophical poem so touchingly delineated.10
