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?)

Reflection

I am a clone

Of everyone

But myself


I’ll reflect your beauty

Back to you but

Never my own


I’ll show you the kindness

In your smile but never

The compassion in my own eyes


I am a myriad of

Every person who has

Ever looked into me


An amalgamation of faces

A tangle of insecurities

A combination of egos


I am everyone but me
