COMPETITION PROMPT
Write a poem or story about a mirror struggling with the fact that she has no identity of her own. (What could this be symbolic of?)
Comparison
The girl staring back at me has golden hair
Her eyes match the sky peaking out behind her shoulder
Gentle, but strong as it holds her petite frame
The girl staring back at me has a welcoming smile
It shines across her freckled, sloped nose
and her rose colored lips
The girl staring back at me has soft, buttery skin
Its dark complexion radiates in the sunlight
Captivating and glimmering warmth
The phone dies—a reflective abyss.
The girl staring back at me is sad
It is present in her flaked lips as they sink towards the ground
Along with her heavy eyes and their shadows lurking just beneath
Her skin is rough
Her teeth jagged
She reaches for a charger
