Pieces of Myself

What have I done!
What have I become?
Going along with the flow,
Have I fallen so low?

Where have I left myself?
Have I gone from giant to elf?
Where is the debris from my crash?
My reflection shows only lies and trash.

How can I recover the pieces of me?
Now shattered, how can I myself be?
Who holds the pieces to my heart?
Who holds the key to a new start?

Sometimes in life we change too suddenly, freezing our own hearts and making happiness an elusive dream but we must accept we were wrong and strive to move on, gradually living our dream ways. Another lovely piece, Hector.
