Reflections

I'm going to guess that you're a girl. I'm a little confused at to why you kept using male pronouns here ("his mistake", "his art", "his work"). I think it would be better if you use female pronouns, as it seems you're talking about a girl. It left me kind of confused. I don't know if you were trying to incorporate both sexes on purpose or not.

It's also a little confusing as to how the narrator gets so empowered at the end. They keep getting beaten down, and there's nothing to show that the person is strong enough to overcome these insecurities. It would make sense if the person maybe wiped off the makeup, but they're standing there, makeup on, and telling the mirror that, with the painted face, they are beautiful. I'm not sue if this is about overcoming social convention, or succumbing to it.

Other than that, I think this was a really good poem. I really like the way you use the metaphors to explain what the narrator is feeling. I really like the personification of the mirror. On the whole it was a really good poem.

This is an idea almost any girl can relate to and I love how you ended it with a sense of strength over the narrarator's view of herself. (I assume it is a girl)

This was really beautiful! I loved the way you used dialogue at the beginning of each stanza. The whole thing flowed really well and your word choice was perfect; not too complicated, yet not kindergarten vocabulary. I have just one tip. In this stanza:

“You are repulsive” whispers the mirror
As I laden mascara to thin eyelashes.
Like I am a painter, framing his art
Hoping to distract from the paint splashes
Where the painting was
Imperfect.

When you say, "Like I am a painter..." you should just say "Like I'm a painter..." it just keeps that line shorter and smooth. Overall this was amazing! You definitely deserve my "like"! Keep writing! BRAVO
