Broken Mirror
Each glance in the mirror kills me.
 It brings back the memories, the pain.
 I just want to forget
 I need to quit glancing at the flaws in the mirror.
 
 Each reflection in their eyes stabs me.
 It shows who they think I really am, someone else entirely.
 I just want to move on.
 I need to quit looking into the eyes.
 
 Each hand I clench on the edge of the sink chokes me.
 It drags me back through all the anger, the fear.
 I just want to be free.
 I need to quit comparing myself to them.
 
 Each fist smashing the glass shocks me.
 It relieves all the worries, the anxieties.
 I just want to erase it all.
 I need to quit destroying the me in the reflections.
 
 Each shard falling to the floor calls to me.
 It slices through my skin with ease, nothing left to fight it.
 I just want to close my eyes and sleep.
 I need to quit holding on to nothing.
