Reflection

by JaM   Aug 22, 2013


So often I stare in your eyes,
asking the same simple question;
of why?

Why,
are you not happy with what you see?
for you have grown beautifully..

Why,
must you paint your face to look?
so many hearts you took..

Why,
is your tiny figure not enough?
you have become so tough..

Why,
must you always compare?
you've become too aware..

Why,
will you never love yourself?
a prize worthy of your own shelf..

Why,
do you choose to remain blind?
just look and you will find..

Everything that I see in you,
a beauty that is true.

    We often have to ask ourselves why. I love the title here too. It feels like you are speaking to yourself throughout the whole poem and not a lot of people do that. Ilove how it can be connected to the reader as well. I think we see everyone else as beautiful beaides ourselves. I think its because we think of our flaws more highly than everyone else. I am not sure but I think girls wear make-up to feel more beautiful. It's sad though because women are naturally beautiful I think. You are always stronger than you know. But when we feel doubt then we start to become nitpicky about the small things. You should always be yourself no matter what. You are beautiful for who you are. I agree. It's hard to love yourself when you feel so down.I love the meaning of this poem though. It showsI feel that we all have flaws and we get self doubt. All we have is oourselves and we have to protect what we know is beautiful. 5/5
