Little Mirrors

Reflection catches
My guilt .
I lose the trust 
In whatever  , God,  I  pray too.
I need a release ,
I need to take the seat
I need to Stare back at Me.
 
Eyes opening a grave.
Don't won't to  Be IN THE WAY.
I'm  red,  in chains
Im Covered , 
In dirt
Unburied Me slowly.
 I'm  the abuser of me ,
 I'm  gonna
Shatter
this  mirror !

Can I pick up the Pieces?
throw them into a lake,
or let the  river take  it downstream .
 Devil knew it will REPEAT
If  I didn't , settle this quickly.

 A man,
Falling off the horse. 
That came from hell. 
I'm the devil, 
Who didn't see my Burns,
until I pointed yours out.
 
Shattering the mirror of me in pieces
Falling  all around my feet
 looking at  those little old pieces ,
 How its still, taunting me!

Trying to scare me .
Little pieces of  Defeat.
Little pieces of shame .
Little pieces  that was stain.
 Little pieces of ed up old me .
Guilty Distorted image remains 
haunting me.

I forgive the pieces 
That was once me
I  pray as the  reflection stares back,
Mirror intact with a crack and missing piece .
So,  I won't forget that
shattered mirror that once was me.
