You Are So Beautiful

You are so beautiful like Helen of Troy
So brainy, special, and unique
Nobody can compete you
Her smiling reflection answered from the mirror
She was lost in her own eyes
Bang!! From no where a stone strike the mirror 
Shattering it into many pieces 
She cried___ who is there? 
Looked around, saw nobody 
Sitting on the ground to have one closer look at the mirror again 
She saw distorted, ugly images of her self
Turning her face away, she got up 
To find out who shattered her world
From behind a huge rock
She heard some voices 
Barefooted, she moved forward,
And heard the exact words
which the mirror had told her
Now it was telling them to a young boy
How brave, intelligent, & smart you are
Like Odin of an old folk tale
She knew the mirror was lying 
It lied to her and now to him
She picked a stone and hit the mirror 
Bang!! And then there was nothing 
Except ugliness, weakness, imperfections
Just Like the real world
She moved forward leaving marks of blood footprints
And shattered mirror behind
