Satire Poem: Mirror Mirror, Lie to me

Mirror Mirror, Lie to me



I stare at my mirror

So shocked by what I see



There is a strange woman 

Staring right back at me


I must've been abducted

This must be a crazy trick

For the reflection that I see

Is making me quite sick




Are those horrid wrinkles?

Is that a double chin?

The neck that was my joy

Is pillar like- not thin!




My eyes have no sparkle

They look listless and glazed

It gets so hard to focus

When all I feel is dazed




Maybe it's just a dream

From which I will awake

For how could that be me?

I'm sure it's just a fake




I pinch myself real hard

The mirror woman screams

Oh no, it must be true

Now both of us cry streams 




Mirror, you're a traitor!!!

Mirror, this is a crime!!!

I order you to hide!!!

The tell-tale signs of time!!!




Do me a small favor

Tell me a little lie

Reflect a younger me...

Oh please,give it a try!
