I met a mirror today
that I didn't like
- sometimes you just have that feeling
about strangers, you know.
so I looked into those greenish eys
and they stared back,
focussing on the flaws
judging me
for my bad genes
and finding me guilty
What's worse...
sentencing me
while I hold out my wrists to be cuffed
and...

How the hell can you judge and cuff a woman, with green eyes? -
Mirror within.
When you look into the mirror, you only see what you want to see.
Yet the mirror in my eyes looks upon you.
And sees the beauty of the reflection in yours.
Beauty afterall, is in the eyes of the beholder.
Your mind is playing tricks on you dear lady!

A good write to say the least.I myself do not like people who judge others for their flaws.We all must learn to appreciate the good qualities that we see in people rather than concentrating on their flaws.I loved this!!!!
God Bless You

I know the feeling that you portray here. People's judgement of vanity [eye candy status] before they 'know' you.... Often bad gene flaws overwhelm the minds of the mortal, shooting you to the floor before you have a chance to say Hello.
Great write, I enjoyed very much..

Oh yeah I can relate to this. Well done. I guess we do even judge ourselves by what we see. Hmm interesting. Great write. Thanks for this entry. Good luck. Jeannie
