Broken Mirror

Throwing heels across the room
I snap the compact in two; 

Breaking bottles busted,
No war paint for you; 

Pretty little kitten, 
Plain isn't popular 

Dancing in a broken  mirror,
Never quite the rhythm

You will never see yourself
When 'you' are always missing

I like the poem. You have to find yourself, stop trying to fit in with everyone else. If you can't see the real 'you', there are people that will take advantage of you. Great job!
