Broken Mirrored Shards

Broken mirrored shards
madness from serenity
once a clear reflection 
now a reconstructed reality
fraction and insanity
turning what’s known into chaos and disorder
dreams into fragmented monsters

Drowning in confusion
endless waves of mazes 
more questions than answers
shifting shadows and illusions
overthinking down haunting conclusions
a mind slowly going insane
from once setting in a solid oak frame

Where to go
choices overflooding
so many paths to go down
knots and twists and turn-a-rounds
sitting at this fork in the road
of endless overwhelming possibility 
wondering which way is the right way?

Falling apart to stay
from the metamorphosis of night to day 
so tired to keep going
filters not holding
all the images and thoughts at bay
too investigative to stop looking over the edge
into the endless abyss
