The girl in the mirror
Blue eyes, blond hair
Straight nose, full lips
Short, not skinny
My parents' daughter.

The girl in the mirror
Bright quirky eyes
Sporty hair
Well-worn smile
My spirit.

The girl in the mirror
Foundation on her face
Lipstick on her lips
Lotion on her hands
My mask.

The girl in the mirror
Bags under her eyes covered in cream
Life's scars behind band-aids
Weathered cross under her collar
Me.
