Broken images
Shattered pieces of the mirror on the ground
every piece forms a sound
of what I always wanted to be yet not
Screams of my past caused said destruction
loud from afar, then soft whispers so near
that only I only can hear
I catch a faint glance of myself
in the messy shards
these are images Id love to discard
Trying to put these scattered pieces back together
my fingers and soul blood-stained forever
I need to heal in order to see myself again...

Self-reflection, literally. I found the poem quite moving. You need to fix that mirror for sure!

It's really hard picking up those broken pieces when each piece carries it's own memories. Tight
