Overcoming odds #44

"Reflection" -Anonoymous

And it said to her,
"Look up.
I'm beautiful,
And I'm a reflection
Of you.

"It smiled down and
It lit the way,
And as she began to cry,
It began to rain.
The tears streamed down,
The thunder crashed,
And suddenly,
She felt the urge
To fly away forever,
Maybe go somewhere
More beautiful than she,
And take it inIn gasps of awe,
Without ever knowing
That it wasn't real.
She can feel her bones here,
The weight of all her sorrow,
Jabbing her body
And beating itInto submission.

So when it smiles,
It smiles inside
So no one else can see,
And so does she.




This poem is about overcoming odds. It is about a young girl seeing herself in the mirror and not being happy with what she sees. She trys to overcome the fact that she is not pleased, but it does not work. I feel as thought she then trys to run away to from her issues, but they just keep coming back to haunt her. I am glad that I do not have any issues as such. This is a serious problem that many people, especially girls deal with every day. If girls have problems like this, I think they should talk to someone about it, because they could end up doing bad things to themselves if their self esteem lowers to far.
