the mirror seems cracked and broken,
missing bits and pieces.
all I want is forever
with happy little breaks.
no curved edges
no bolded lines.
a calm breath
without a moment of worry.
long walls through the woods
leading the way to a pond.
the water looks so still and pure,
perfect before the storm.
I stand here naked before you, mother nature
so do your worst onto me.
shall I peel my skin from my bones
and join you beneath the waves?
the trees are howling,
the storm is coming.
please take me far away,
away from all this mess and hate.
if I cannot go
I ask only one thing.
please take all my ugly
and give it to him.
he said he loved my smile
all my ugly s within.
my scars and freckles
my lips and stutters;
he said he could get lost in forever.
he said he loved all these things
especially the ones I couldn't see.
he fixed my mirror
it seemed almost perfectly back together.
but I am not just those things
I am glorious beyond compare.
he liked only what he saw
maybe my words if I got lucky.
he broke this mirror
that I held so dearly
I can't see myself
through these still waters.
I walk towards myself
becoming one with misery.
so take me, mother nature,
give him all he loved but me.
