Cover up the mirrors and I'll find somewhere to look, rip me into pieces like the pages of an old notebook, smudge me into ink stains, stick a needle in my eye, scribble over my mistakes and cross me out with lines. Turn me inside out to wash and hang me out to dry, drown me in a dried up lake and cool me down by fire, spit me out like sour grapes, then leave me like an ageing wine, just now, I've quite the bitter taste but I still need a little time.

Coming of age
Cover up the mirrors and I'll find somewhere to look, rip me into pieces like the pages of an old notebook, smudge me into ink stains, stick a needle in my eye, scribble over my mistakes and cross me out with lines. Turn me inside out to wash and hang me out to dry, drown me in a dried up lake and cool me down by fire, spit me out like sour grapes, then leave me like an ageing wine, just now, I've quite the bitter taste but I still need a little time.
Catharsis in a poem- felt very grounded after spitting this out
