Mirror, Mirror, That I See

[stacy (FINALLY back!)]

I posted this today at TPS in a members challenge that exrm started about narcissism. I wasn't sure where to post it in here, so I thought this might be the best place. If it needs moved, I am sorry to put that extra work on anyone. That wasn't my intention at all when I posted it in here. And please don't think I'm writing this about myself. I am one of the least conceited people on the planet, and the thoughts conveyed in this poem have no reflection on me whatsoever...no pun intended.

Mirror, Mirror, That I See


Mirror, mirror, that I see.
What a lovely creature
Staring back at me!

With those luscious lips
And bright green eyes.
My beauty comes as no surprise.
Your man looks at me
And wants me, too.
But with this beauty, what can I do?
You know you're jealous.
You envy me.
Sorry sweetheart! It can never be!
The mold was broken
When I was born that day.
And this game of beauty you can never play!

Mirror, mirror, that I see.
What a lovely creature
Staring back at me!

lol ;D

It is certainly a worthy challenge piece for narcissism, and we know you're a sweet soul and not the one depicted here. Much luck.

Oh, Stacy ~ without daily assurance, this person will fall heavily when the mirror breaks or they finally see their true reflection. I guess narcissists don't ever see the truth because even a little honesty hurts. A strong challenge write. You made me feel sorry for them.
This board is fine. Good luck. H x
