Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Mirror mirror on the wall
took a turn,
crash and fall.
Why'd you go and crash and fall?
But mirror, mirror on the wall
was the fairest of them all,
until he had to crash and fall.
Crash. And fall.
Hear me, hear me,
here’s to someone
we should aspire be,
the fairest of them all.
But hear me, hear me,
fairest of them all,
I’m not done with you.
We will talk.
When I, too,
crash and fall.
My "father" had a daughter
whose friend was the queen’s mirror,
mirror on the wall,
you’re still the fairest of them all.
Bright lights,
big man,
chorus of people
all with wings,
and halos.
I know you’re there.
If it's real.
And mirror, mirror, on the wall,
I will meet you,
when I crash and fall.

Thank you all for your comments. I agree about the wordiness (is that a word?), but I feel all that has been said needs to have been said, and I don't do competitions or anything.
Cynthia- thank you for correcting my clumsy grammar. I'm in high school, I love writing prose and poetry, and I am absolutely terrible at spelling!
Thank you all again.
