Broken Mirror
Today I broke a mirror
I caught the glass inside my hand
it started as a crack and wouldn’t go back
this wasn’t the day I had planned
Today I broke a mirror
I saw my features shatter like glass
the reflection it made had begun to fade
the pieces were then lost in the grass
Today I broke a mirror
I felt the blood form a pool in my palm
I began to see that this mirror was me
and the storm in my head became calm
Today....... I broke

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
