She took off her makeup
completely raw
stood in front of the mirror
here I come
unmasking myself
just me
tell me
am I beautiful
she asked the mirror
and the mirror said
you are the most beautiful person
I have ever known
but I am just a mirror
you have to see it
through the eyes
of different people
in this world
if you find someone
who can accept you
in your natural self
you won’t need me at all
