Ridicule:

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
I see the reflection of me
I am lean 
My eyes are bright 
Yet I hide out of sight
My heart is weak 
My body is fragile 
My feet are deranged
My soul is lost 
My head is unstable
I am broken 
Yet not brittle
My faith is not strong
Yet I am hopeful
My tears are abundant
My bucket is full
My life is confusing
But I am confident
I am writer
But I am a fool
I am a mother
But I am human
I am a wife
Now Divorce
I am a woman
Torn and broken
Mirror, Mirror 
Who do you see?
It’s just me.
