A Shattered Mirror
I look at myself
I don't feel worthy
Worthless
At times I'm breathless
I try to move forward
And then I see myself looking in
A Shattered Mirror
Depression takes over
Sadness has become my life
I try daily to better me
But the fear of judgment
Whispers, "YOU CAN'T"
I'm so emotionally broken
So now I realize
I broke the mirror
I stare, while I figure out
How to piece it all back together
The pieces are falling
One at a time
Who can replace me now
Who cares to put me back together
I have become
A Shattered Mirror
Reflections
Protection
I'm bent over with sorrow
Leaning with struggles
Turned with misery
Filled with insecurities
Finally, I have became just that
A shattered Mirror
That will one day stare back
Ask me why?
Why, wasn't I
A better woman
A stronger woman
A worthy woman
You believe in you
And only you know you
No one can break me down
When I realized
A mirror has no place here
Now it will be shattered
Because I broke it
With all my positivity.
