You stare

            And stare

                        And stare

Is it you?

            That person

                        Standing there?

That glare

            Those imperfections

                        Stand out

Is it you?

            You ask again

                        With doubt

Can’t be

            That person

                        Standing there

You stare

            And glare

                        …And tear

The mirror

            It only tells

                        Lies

Is it pity

            You see

                        In those eyes?

No more!

            You scream

                              In fright

You can no longer

            Stand this

                        Sight

And in a

            Motion

                        Your hand flies

The mirror

            Shatters

                        And dies

You stare

            And stare

                        And stare

Is it you?

            Those pieces

                        Everywhere?

You’ve shattered

      Your image

            Your reflection

Your truth

            Your mirror

                        Your direction

                      

                        It’s all broken
