    Moa, I like the idea of this. Of mirrors everywhere holding secrets about their 'owners'

    The imagery is good and there's alot of food for thought here. You have a great talent though I'm sure you know that :)

    tell me
    it's okay not to be perfect.
    but rather walk with my head up
    towering to the heavens,
    because all that have stood before you
    great and small
    none has ever been close to perfection.
    ^^
    I especially love this part because is so meaningful and true. Not one of us is perfect and if anyone says otherwise then they are obviously distorted. I think each one of us is perfectly imperfect.

    Great work, Em

    I had to read this poem twice and each time i can't get over how beautifully written it is. I red between the lines and the mirror is more than a reflection of ourselves. It reminds me of when i was a little girl and looking at the painted pictures of my grandparents home. The pictures were so vivid like i can almost see the soul of the image.
    My favorite stanza is this:

    "but rather walk with my head up
    towering to the heavens,
    because all that have stood before you
    great and small
    none has ever been close to perfection.

    Again, i like the way you uses mirror in a way that it could be an object or even a place where someone is allowed to be themselves. Very well done. Kel.
