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?)
I Mirror You
All I ever do is reflect what I see
Nobody ever sees the one and only me
You primp and you preen
Like you’ve never seen
Yourself in the mirror before you.
I watch as you make a silly old pose
And I see you when you pick your nose
Yes, I see the best
And all the ugliest
Parts of the genuine you.
But throughout all the many long years
I have watched you shed many tears
And I hear your regrets
And I keep your secrets
The hopes and the fears that haunt you.
But when everything is said and done
Together, you and I, we are the one
Still I do not suppose
That anyone knows
I reflect the best parts of you.
