Smashing the Mirror
Do you wilt in someone
else’s shadow
Do you fawn in someone
else’s praise
Do you rise in someone
else’s dawn
Do you fly with someone
else’s wings
Can you break the chains
that hold you
Can you smash the mirror
of regret
Can you kill the demon
of envy
Can you end the bondage
—free at last
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
