Shattered Mirrors

Stumbling drunken stupor
Beating Hell into her
Snuffing out all possibility of Hope
Shattering Self-esteem so she couldn't cope
With a lit American Spirit
Slipping from slobbering loaded lips
While simultaneously screaming "I LOVE YOU!!!"
Scared into believing all the lies, subconsciously knowing the Truth
Stuck wondering how long must in wait for these memories to fade?
So that I can move on gracefully fearlessly facing another day

Wow, what an emotional write, this scene is one I am currently supporting with a friend and the emotional roller coaster is an unkind ride that changed day to day. Please give yourself a hug and remember one breath at a time , blessings Corrina
