Reflection

By Kathryn Evans

Unreadable face

Watching slyly without expression

Familiar yet unexpected

Sad blue eyes the color of slate

Round cheeks, round nose

Untouched lips ready with a smile

Image seems unimportant

Unmatching to the inside

Misleading to the outside world

Outside won’t change the core

Yet neither can the inside change the casing

Both must coexist despite the other

Wisps of auburn hair

Thick curls or waves

Never perfect and always ignored

Skin that will never be called flawless

Body that will never be called petite

Perfection can’t be attained, yet acceptance sought
