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?)

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.
