Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is thin, skinny and tall?
Is she really pretty at all?
Does she cry herself to sleep,
or shut herslf out from the world?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who's the girl who starves herself?
Show me the one who's hiding her cuts and bruises.
Mirror, mirror tell me so,
why would anyone hate her at all?
Would you stop it!
Yelling at her hurts her even worse.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Would she mind if I hug her at all?
I would listen and help,
And do anything to make those cuts go away.
Wipe her tears, and say soft prayers of forgiveness.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
She's the one who's beautiful out of them all.

 I love the concept of this poem! I think every girl has had a conversation like this with her mirror at one time or another. Great job! 5/5
