Mirror, mirror, tell me who I am.
If I don't look like them, they'll never understand.
Mirror, mirror, is it the only way to mend?
I try to get pretty, but I can't.
Mirror, mirror, am I ugly for sure?
Their gossips have made me insecure.
Mirror, mirror, why aren't I enough?
Why do I always end up causing laughs?
Mirror, mirror, trying to delete my flaws,
But every day they point out that there still are tons.
Mirror, mirror, tell me what to do.
I really wanna be as beautiful as you.
I can't believe the girl in the mirror is me.
Maybe I'm just a bit better than who they see.

Author's Note:
No matter what they say, you must feel beautiful. Because you are. It's just that you're a bit different. Change is normal, so is stress. Nobody can label you but yourself.
I wrote the poem "Mirror, Mirror" about those who stress over the way they look because of the pressure they receive from peers. Beauty is something we're born with. I want to encourage people to admire who they are and never underestimate themselves.
