mirror

when you look

in the shattered mirror

theres a thousand yous

and a million or so tears

and each version

had their own faults

an eye thats crooked

a smudge that wont rub off

with tape and glue

you could mend

atleast a single you

and be okay

but the fracture

runs far too deep

a thousand yous

within the cracks they weep

My friend, you don’t need millions of you,(but it would be great if the world had millions of you)but sometimes wrecking all things up and splitting makes yourself far away, like each one of you has their own heartbreak and it’s a hard thing to live with it. maybe you should leave some of them in pain and get yourself together with all of the good things you can pull And I think writing will help you with that. I trust you I think you’re a great poet and I am here for you. Will be here for you. I hope you’re doing great. You’re always in my mind in somewhere

Opening it up is usually the first step, if there were a million mes maybe the world would be more loving.

this is true words coming to the fore and making a splash in the mirror of self. wonderful writing. the pain, emotions, the feelings, the aches, the tears and a mirror to look into. that is something! the last two stanzas are expressed so deeply, I read them and was lost for a bit trying to gather the pieces that were talking their heart out. thanks for sharing this write, Everett.
