Wonderfully written! So very true and so sad that we woman buy into the public perception that we aren't good enough in our own skin. You did an awesome job putting this into words. |

Beautiful in a scary and realistic way. I love the mirror's role in making your reflection another character. The world is slowly but surely losing it's shine. It'll only get worse the further into these things societies delve into. Make your world a just one. That's what counts now. Thank you for sharing your work with all of our worlds :) |
There are a couple punctuation errors throughout, but nothing too serious. The only major corrections would be: |

Hi there! Welcome to P&Q! Really enjoyed this piece, although I find the line-breaks between the stanzas to be a bit excessive. That said, I like the inspiration from snow white, and the breath of harsh reality. Society places a great emphasis on aesthetics, rather than meaning & function, and it's terrifying. Well written! |

Wow. This is definitely very powerful. Something many of us can relate to in one way or another. |
Incredible portrayal of the price of vanity and the weather of time. Really enjoyable read. I don't think there is a woman out there who hasn't wanted to change something about herself. Milly x |

Thanks so much for reading. That is true for sure. We look up to unrealistic looking people and it hurts. I wrote this when I was getting ready to sign a modeling contract with a very well known fashion company. And the things they wanted me to change were not worth it. It's painful that we are not enough as is. Thanks for the read and wonderful comment! |
