Don't Talk Just Listen

Mnicolewrites

Mirror Mirror on the Wall,

Tell me I need to have it all

Tell me I need a BBL

Tell me I need my lips to swell

Tell me I need a great phone cam

So I can post my body all over the gram.

 

Tell me I need a lash (or two)

Extra makeup, extra glue

so my wig won't shift, and move to the side

and reveal what my shame is trying to hide

Tell me children don't need a dad

Because I can make money on Onlyfans

 

Tell me, oh mirror,

I won't ever have to see

What being a lookalike

may really do to me.

Tell me these things 

as I look at you

But could you make sure 

you don't tell me the truth? 

 

That I am beautifully

and wonderfully made,

Fashioned in greatness, uniquely engraved,

with a plan for a business, or writing a book,

that doesn't depend on just how I look.

Don't tell me don't fear

because I won't get likes, 

that I must walk by faith and not by sight!

Because then dear mirror, I will have to admit,

I'm shallow and stupid, 

and worth only a click.
