A perfect picture for my Mirror
my boots were made for walking
my eyes were made for laughing
my smile wasn't supposed to be fake
yet it kept the tears off my cheeks
my hair wasnt meant to be brushed
and i don't like to wear make up
yet i woke up this morning
trying to picture perfect my mirror imagine*
and little to late was i to realise
Mirrors have always been flawless
You showed me the opposite of what i wanted to see...
*you were my mirror imagine and when I looked at you I saw my true beautiful picture in your photo album, untouched, untorn and unbroken.

and little to late was i to realise
Mirrors have always been flawless
You showed me the opposite of what i wanted to see...

Good write.
i like the captured image feeling
stored away
locked in time treasure this poem brings.
mirrors and photos are always a good conductor for poetry and strong emotions.
i enjoyed the 2nd stanza very much
"my hair wasnt meant to be brushed

Boots, eyes,smile all serve a purpose and that flawless purpose is in you.
