Internal vs External

Today we read the poem “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath. While reading the poem I reflected on the person I see when I look in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see a strange, puzzled girl. The girl yearns to feel beautiful, but she fails at every attempt. The girl longs for her father’ love and reassurance, but she knows she’ll never receive it. She’s broken and feels as if half of her is the the graveyard. The girl can’t accept reality. The girl is lost and heartbroken hoping to see the beauty in herself like others  do. She wants to feel smart. She wants to be optimistic. The girl in the mirror want to have hope that change is really inevitable.
