Mirrors Are Big Fat Liars
Mirrors tell convincing lies
They let you see
What others see
Thin reflective glass
Smoothing out bumpy skin
Brightening eyes
Whitening teeth
Making frizzy hair invisible
Mirrors lie very well
They skew the truth
Just enough to be wrong
The true you is scary
Harsh words slip by your teeth
Disproving glances on your face
Ungraceful movements
Ugly insecurities
These lies only scratch the surface
Of who you really are
They don't show how you feel
Your experiences
The things that have shaped you
I suppose I can't blame them
Those poor mirrors
For trying to make you look pretty
Because the true you
Is absolutely terrifying
