Mirror

by Aline Moreau ’24

If you were to put a mirror in front of her

She could be doing her hair,

Getting ready for a night out with friends

She could be laughing as she watches her favorite shows

She could be lighting an incense stick,

Getting ready for a good night’s rest

She could be diligently doing her work,

Making sure her education isn’t wasted

She could be sticking positive words of affirmation onto said mirror

Or she could just be staring,

Looking at her dark brown skin, her full lips, her hair that is her crown

She could just be looking
