Broken Piece

Shattered glass
Obscured reflections
These are mine
To look at
And nobody else's

Like being told
You're fat
Over and over
Until you begin to see
Only what others say

This glass may be
Shattered and the like
But the reflection 
Can split all it wants
And keep its opinion
To its damn self
