A poem that reflects our society on a Woman’s image through tabloids and pictures.
Something there is that doesn’t love
a mirror
the glare of the light that is
distorts the image
tabloids morphed into this mirror
stares back at me for hours
as my body image rolls off the
straight-edged mirror
leaving no room for my imperfection
not even the scars
from those lunch box days
I tell myself this is just a phase
In every bathrrom
And in every house
You stalk me
As I try desperately
To search for my idenity
Tabloids
Arranged to arouse desire
Train our perceptions
To decieve us
Forced to want a lyposuctioned body
This mirage
Sucks the life out of me
Something there is that doesn’t love
A mirror
That wants to alter the culture
Push it to disorder
Change the next generation
Of post modern advertising
Thoughts are contradictory
Just mere fantasy
Look here
Something there is that doesn’t love
A mirror
That wants to send it
Across the room
SHATTER IT!
Before I would think to look at another
I’d ask to know
What I was thinning down
Or plumping up
And to whom this image would be pleasing
Or to whom it may be teasing
Conservative
I’d think to remember,
But curvasious is in
Like a coke bottle shape
From what tabloids say
And the adds across the screen
They think they are clever
Having thought of it so well
Society is lost
And this mirror is my wall
