She Saw Herself In The Mirror

She saw herself in the mirror

The coarse skin and a few scars didn't bother

Then she entered the virtual world

Of beautiful people

Flawless and smiling countenances garnered the praise of all

She saw herself in the mirror

The imperfections got conspicuous

Out she brought her makeover kit

To contort her image ideal to fit

Satisfaction didn't come with ease

The photo-ops too refused to cease

Life was then regulated by comments and likes

She smiled now only for the shutters and lenses

She saw herself in the mirror 

To meet the persona she yearned for

Alas! She couldn't identify the reflection

For it wasn't her but some else's perception!
