Broken Glass
Location
I walked on broken glass,
Each shard represented someone or something that caused me pain.
Physical or emotional.
Each shard was stained with a different color of my soul it took.
I walked on broken glass,
"You're fat"
another shard on the floor,
"You're gay"
another shard on the floor,
"You're not good enough",
another shard on the floor.
I walked on broken glass,
my feet were tired from walking,
my soul was tired of being cut.
I was so close to stopping but then I made a decision.
I decided to stop walking on that broken glass,
pick it up,
and forge a stain glass mirror,
I look within the mirror and I see myself.
I see the different colors of my character,
the differesnt colors of my future,
and the colors of a different world.
I no longer walk on broken glass,
nor do I hide my stained glass mirror,
each piece was meticulously put together,
I reconstructed my soul and I wear it proudly.
I am fat and I am gay,
but I am good enough.
Good enough to stop walking on that broken glass.
