Mirrors

I have always believed GOD gave each man their share of bad luck,

And you have broken me down...

So tired, so fine, and I might hate you, but I will never love you any less.

I might be stressed, on the daily, like when you can’t silence a screaming baby.

I might be stressed, but just to have had you placed in my life for a fraction of time, I know that I’m blessed.

Aren’t we just?

I can be a mess, just wanting to stay in my bed and lay dead.

Dead to the world and when it comes to this I’m the very best.

Late nights all alone wanting to leave this place in time.

Oh my,

Staple my eyes, so you’ll never have to feel a tear drop from the grey,

And lids and lashes have no use because you?

I no longer view.

How can I go on without you?

Easy, just do, but that isn’t so simple.

It’s harder to accept when the problem is blue.

Blue as the summer skies, living without a try, trying not to comply with the daily lies, I wish not to do so, but I do so just to get by without the thoughts of who, what, where, when, how, and why.

You see the mind is the greatest trap.

Wanting to think, but I feel no happiness.

I write what I wish to believe, but I feel none of it.

Tear on, fighting my way out of my chest because my love is never at rest.

Perfection is the greatest imperfection, when you realize this, it will allow you to see and notice our true self.

How are you loving this infliction of self reflection?

You're like the Great Onion Poet, writing layers and layers of sweet, potent, delicious content. Incredibly versatile and a key ingredient in so many dishes. Soft and sweet when prepared just so? I can easily relate to this poem, it's as if you wrote while looking at a recent chapter of my life. "How are you loving this infliction of self reflection?" is the icing on the cake! this is exactly how it ended for me in my mind!

Thank you for sharing this excellent moment in time!

Great piece "Staple my eyes, so you’ll never have to feel a tear drop from the grey," love this line. Such a great write.

Thank you so much. That line is one of my favorites as well.

This poem along with all your work has layer after layer and my opinion
that is so unique and honest! I enjoyed this top to bottom, but the line
about perfection jumps out at me because I can relate to it so much,
example- a woman's physical imperfection, can be what catches
my eye and is so damn sexy, it's what makes her unique if you will!
Another great piece of poetry! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
