a mirror

a fine 

piece

of glass

look how perfectly smooth it is

having its occasional

jagged bubble

but 

then again

is anything ever

perfect?

never mind

surpass the flaws

and look at the mirror as a whole

reflections

and another you

from another planet

seemingly

yet unaware of the fact

does everything you do 

stares back at you

a mirror

perfect

yet imperfect

now

bring the shining shard

to the sky

just do it

don't ask me why

feel the weight of it all

the power 

surge through you

feel it

as its just a

bout to fall

let go 

of the glow

and watch it sprinkle

like snow

like something sweet on your tongue

shards

and shards

of very distinct minds

all saying different words

but speaking alike

it's crazy

you saved me

from a rotten memory

and now 

i am forever thankful 

for everything

you gave to me

look at the floor

oh!

what a mess

millions

and billions

of trillions

in distress

the voices

they play

like a second hand serenade

lulling me safe

but no matter

the hardships

no matter the pain

all in all

its been a good day

Your poetry is always beautifully and eloquently expressed and this poem is no exception...wonderful job! Thank you for sharing your diagnosis. I was a social worker and worked with many people with differing diagnoses and I love that you are open about it. We need to live in a world where mental diagnoses are treated the same as physical ones in that they are nothing to be ashamed of. You are an amazing artist!

[FaeryQueen]

thank you, your comment made me literally cry, you are amazing as well!!!

This is a brilliant description of a splintered mind or shattered view of the world. Even tho you seemingly wrote this for a very specific disorder & I love how this helps us see things from your point of view, it's also an authentic depiction of many ways the mind can be splintered or shattered by life or by a disorder (I'm bipolar & there are parallels!) This is the poster child for turning life's difficulties into art. This is showing instead of telling. Your writing has all the right stuff (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

It s have very simply words just few. But result is great poem. Very gently and very open like human heart. There is great sense to keep balance. There is your creativity and love hide inside all your words.

[Emily]

Keep it up!

Khatoon, It is nice to see you haven't let your disorder control your talent, most good writers are a little eccentric (me too) but it is that-that makes us different from others so embrace what you have and let your poetry speak for itself. Well Done.

Absolutely fantastical. I love how you let your organs spills out and drag them through shards. It takes a lot.

[Valentine]

Hey, no one on this earth is born perfect. If they think they are they are only fooling themselves. We all have hidden flaws. Just do the best you can with what God gave you. Valentine

[Shah Sabia]
