This was an assignment for the poetry club at my school. I'm glad we have one am excited to see how it goes. The prompt was from the perspective of a non-animate object.

I can see you

You can see me

You can see yourself in me

I see all of your flaws

Your small nose

Your huge forehead

Your crooked eyes

Your pimples

Blackheads

Zits

All of them

Your wild hair in the morning

I see when you brush your teeth

And when you forget to do so

I see how you decide what to wear

I watch the displeasure

In your eyes when you think

You look gross

I watch the displeasure

In your eyes

When your makeup

Doesn't come out right

I see how you try to squish your problems areas

And I see when

You sometimes look at yourself in me

And you cry

Sometimes you cry

Because you think

You're not good enough

But if I could talk

I would tell you

Don't cry!

Wipe your tears!

Because I think you're beautiful

I think that you are perfect

And I don't care what anyone else may think

I don't care what they say

You're beautiful

And perfect

If I weren't a mirror

I would tell you exactly that
