Broken Pieces

Broken Pieces

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield

A shattered mirror

Stands before me

Broken glass litters

The ground around my feet

I couldnt stand

Under the pressure

So instead I fell

Down on my knees

They say that I

Should be happy

My life is perfect

Supposedly

But they don't see

The pain beneath,

The suffering and hurt

Behind the facade

It hides between the lines

Of my life

Lurking in wait for

Those who believe

They can fix

My eerie disposition

You can't always

Fix what's broken
