Snow White’s stepmother must have been suffering <br />from low self-esteem, looking in a magic mirror <br />every day for assurance of being the most <br />beautiful woman in all the land <br /> <br />When the mirror told her Snow White was more <br />beautiful, she being second only, her low self- <br />esteem led her to remove her rival, though all <br />know that second in a beauty contest <br /> <br />Is still miles above the rest, why would this Queen who <br />had everything insist on being the most beautiful also <br />requiring daily assurances, whose voice in her mind <br />was telling her that she was actually <br /> <br />A nonentity? Whatever the reason, outer beauty counts as <br />nothing when inner beauty shines in radiance, the sparkle <br />of happy laughter is a million times more attractive than <br />a plastic chest and botoxed lips <br /> <br />Snow White’s beauty lay in inner strength because when <br />she found the dwarves’ house in a state of disrepair, she <br />immediately started cleaning up and preparing <br />food, singing while she worked <br /> <br />With spirit and joie de vivre, sparkling eyes and happy <br />thoughts; maybe this is why the magic mirror preferred <br />her to the low-self-image queen of cold beauty…<br /><br />Louise Tredoux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/low-self-image-queen-of-cold-beauty/
