She's perfection
How beautiful is the girl on the glossy page
My reflection
Nothing compared to hers onstage

My mirrors broken
Shards spread across the floor
My insecurities loudly spoken
To be beautiful I need more

Laughing pictures
I already know I'm not as beautiful as you
Mindset fixtures
The image of me I see in my head is a dream to never be true
Perfectly sculpted
Chiseled amazingly beautiful to the tee
Perfectly repulsive
That's what they'd all think of me

My mirrors broken
In it's place are pictures of beauty queens
My insecurities loudly spoken
Because of those in the magazines
Shards spread across the floor
A broken reflection of me
To be beautiful I need more
To be what they've made me want to be

------- Author's Notes -------

I'm not really feeling this way but I know so many are......I wanted to turn it into something positive but failed. Maybe a part two is needed?

this poem speaks to so many people. Almost everyone has insecurities about themselves and they can relate to this well written poem. this poem is positive in the way that somebody will feel good that they can relate and know they are not the only ones who think about it.

Positive

I suppose that's a way that's it's positive. I wanted a more...you're beautiful no matter what the magazines or media or movies say in their own way kind of message though...I am happy with the outcome of the poem though...turned out pretty good...I'm glad you liked it!!

Wow girl!

I'm like wow, because the way you formatted this poem, goes beyond any average poet! Not that we have any average poets, but I like the way you worded your poem! I've felt like that sometimes, when I flip through a magazine, I view them as flawless, pretty creatures, and want to be just like them, but then, I have to realize everyone's pretty in their own way, and doesn't do any good to want to copy someone else.....
Thanks LinzAy!
You did a good job, you didn't fail; I read your author's notes!

Smiles,
Have fun,
Meridian
