The start of my Freeverse Collection, done for Mystii (rhythmical), so thankyou to her for the inspiration and motivation. It'll be about Astoria Greengrass and Draco Malfoy, with possible inclusion of Daphne Greengrass. Here's the first one:

Mirror~Astoria Greengrass


Stare into the mirror-
because you're beautiful darling and you know it

You're worth something
A whole lot of something
&& Merlin, sometimes you feel like a queen
Sitting on top of the world

But all you need to do is look in the mirror
&& the only thing you see in your reflection is a reality check
(Painful and heartbreaking)

It's full of the blonde hair && blue eyes you never wanted
And the fakefake smile you wear like a crown
Is probably the only reason you get drawn back to the shiny glass hanging on your bedroom wall

Because you always have to look perfect
To keep up appearances

You wear your beauty on the outside
You doubt there's anything inside of you
Except blood and lungs and a great big hole
-Right where your heart should be

So of course you look brilliant on the outside
But inside
You're absolutely horrible
With everything about you screaming Slytherin

Maybe you are a Slytherin, and forced into perfection && appearances
But you're also Astoria Greengrass && that means you can pull it off

You can pull everything off, darling
So hold your head up
Keep smiling

Because really girl, that blonde hair you didn't ask for
&& blue eyes you never wanted
They're a part of you, as much as you hate them
&& they make you look stunning

If you look in the mirror
Just try to remember the moments
(Few and far between)
When you sit on your throne on top of the world
&& Merlin, you feel like a queen

Because you're worth something, darling
A whole lot of something
And maybe even everything
