She looks in the mirror with sad eyes.
\nSo many questions dribbling in her mind,
\nAs she touches her face with a sigh,
\nImperfection is a word that runs dry,
\nIt tastes like acid and vile,
\nIt causes her tears streaming wild.<\/p>\n
“Am I beautiful, or my mom lied?”<\/p>\n
She puts on her mask, a matted makeup.
\nCovering the dotted white spots,
\nSmothering every ragged edge,
\nHiding the ugliness that causes her pain,
\nAnd again and again, the mirror doesn’t lie.
\nNow mirror, mirror, what do you think?
\nDid I hide my flaws and edges?
\nConcealed it and masked perfectly.<\/p>\n
“Am I beautiful, or my mom lied?”<\/p>\n
She heard a tugging whisper.
\nClose your eyes, and hears your heartbeat.
\nThe mirror reflects what you see,
\nBut it doesn’t tell you the reality.
\nSpotless and flawless is not a standard of beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
