Cracked
a broken mirror will never give you an accurate reflection
inner insecurities and outside opinions shattered once untouched glass
cracking through the imperfections unable to be hidden
distorting the image that is you
once a mirror is broken it can never be repaired
what once was will no longer be
you can try to rearrange the pieces searching for the crevices concealing you
but the shards protrude so far they leave
lacerations as decorations on your heart
coloring the depiction of you with the
tints shades and hues of your suffering
misery loves company
the broken seek to break others
you are a reflection of the mirror
the mirror is not a reflection of you
cater to your jagged edges
let them cut you
let them fill you pain
bandage the fractures
heal yourself from the inside out
embrace the perfect imperfections
you may bruised, but you are not broken
and your mirror may be shattered
but the light you hold inside yourself
remains unbreakable
