Low-Self-Image Queen Of Cold Beauty Poem by Louise Tredoux

Low-Self-Image Queen Of Cold Beauty



Snow White’s stepmother must have been suffering
from low self-esteem, looking in a magic mirror
every day for assurance of being the most
beautiful woman in all the land

When the mirror told her Snow White was more
beautiful, she being second only, her low self-
esteem led her to remove her rival, though all
know that second in a beauty contest

Is still miles above the rest, why would this Queen who
had everything insist on being the most beautiful also
requiring daily assurances, whose voice in her mind
was telling her that she was actually

A nonentity? Whatever the reason, outer beauty counts as
nothing when inner beauty shines in radiance, the sparkle
of happy laughter is a million times more attractive than
a plastic chest and botoxed lips

Snow White’s beauty lay in inner strength because when
she found the dwarves’ house in a state of disrepair, she
immediately started cleaning up and preparing
food, singing while she worked

With spirit and joie de vivre, sparkling eyes and happy
thoughts; maybe this is why the magic mirror preferred
her to the low-self-image queen of cold beauty…
