The Shattered Mirror

I知 what you see in a shattered mirror.


Sharp edges like a blade, as unyielding as Rigor


Thousands of fragmented pieces of sanity


Without form, indignation or humanity


 


I知 what you see in the mirror


Distorted images, a disassembled figure


A translucent piece of history


A false sense of security


 


I知 what you see in the mirror


I知 slowly becoming clearer


Taxed to the edge of your only hope


Holding the end of a frayed rope


 


I知 what you see in a shattered mirror


When you glance behind wondering who痴 here


I am everything you left behind


Hidden in the crevice of your mind


 


I知 what you see in the mirror


I知 the broken image you see there


Your last piece of sanity


Please hold me dear and dearer

You really captured a sense of the chaos that can erupt inside with this excellent imagery of a shattered mirror. "A translucent piece of history" is such a great description, combining space and time to indicate invisibility. Great job.

Crissy, We all have bad times in our lives where we are trying to figure out between sane and sanity,Keep looking in that mirror until your reflection is fantastic and beautiful and you'll see the real you..Your life is not crumbling away,stay positive,no negativity..
God Bless,

Michael

Crissy,

Life may deceive but reflections do not lie.
Fragments pierce and life tends to sigh.

Such a powerful write my friend, an inner struggle with self, present and past. Sanity! Something that we all try hard to hold onto, especially when life comes at you so fast and hard, inflicting pain, questions, and many trials! Outstanding write indeed! Loved the imagery!
Blessings,

Stunning and the use of repetition in this one works really well, I can almost picture you looking into the mirror as you type this one, and the times we feel like this in our lifetimes are painful indeed but take heed that someday the mirror will be fixed and your beauty will shine....

Sanity, holding on to sanity within there own private hell. Powerful imagery of someone losing themselves, holding on to straws, is how i read this. I like the image of the shattered mirror, you can almost feel their inner turmoil...
