My Shell

I closed my eyes with anticipation for sunrise, I wanted the daylight, illuminating my shell, and me But when i opened my eyes, it was still dark I realized, i must have awakened earlier. so i closed my eyes , again , this time my eyes felt heavy , however i closed them , with a fear somewhere in my heart. I slept I slept and slept for as long as i could My bones started to ache But i tried… I wanted to prolong my sleep just to look at the sunrise, the day, a new beginning But when my heart started to tremble I felt as i lost my breath This compelled my to wake up, so i did I opened my eyes And looked at my shell I looked and kept looking It was still dark There was no light, revealing me There was no breeze blowing my hair there was no humming of life I kept looking -at the dark room, the dark shell It turned my eyes gloomy and apathetic Empty, empty as the shell Without winking but watched My gaping sight struck something It was a broken mirror; it was hanging on the side wall Just beside my bed While it’s every broken sharp wedged piece but clinging to each other, As a whole, struck my sight Every broken pieced reflected Reflected the ambushing of my misery It reflected the darkness It reflected my dark shell And my empty eyes kept looking at it Darkness of my shell reflected in the mirror, somehow made me feel, that it exists in me. And As I kept looking, I looked at my face reflecting, Broken, and my lips uttering without frowning, Convincing _ it all exists in me and darkens day by day, Emptying me
