Broken MirrorA Poem by Val
I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now. It's eleven o'clock at night, I've thrown up twice in the last half hour. I look like I have been punched in the eyes. The tears won't stop falling.
How the f**k did I get here? F**k. I am so many things to so many people. Friend. Sister. B***h. Failure. Funny. W***e. Smart. Pretty. Disappointment. S**t. Nothing. I am nothing People often to peer into mirrors to see what they look like, but they see what they want to see. I am a mirror. They see what they want to see in me. Never really looking at the whole picture. They never truly see me. Everything I've done, everything I am, has been for somebody else. Never me. Never. I am a f*****g mirror. People pick me up to see what they want to see. When they're done, they just drop me leaving me shattered. I am shattered. Someone comes to pick me up and put my pieces together only to drop me once more. Everytime I lose a little more of myself. Now there's nothing left to put together. I am broken. © 2014 Val |
