Mirror


Mirror,

Mirror on the wall

Why am I short,

Why am I not so tall

Who is the fairest of us all

Who does the prince want to take to the ball

Wait...

Why do I care?

What is the weight that society bares.

Why do I let it bare on me?

Does it bare on you?

Why do we care

What they think?

Why do they care

What we think?

Why does society set such high standards when,

Society itself can not meet those standards?

We are society.

We pay too much attention to that thing...

To that Mirror,

Mirror on the wall.
