Glass Shards


Glass Shards
 
 
Someone looks into a mirror
 
The oval mirror is completely perfect
 
But then someone sees something in the mirror
 
Something dark…terrifying 
 
To the point where the person thinks that it’s just a dream 
 
They become horrified by the thoughts going through their mind
 
Is all of this real? 
 
Make the pain go away
 
They are worried about what they see in the mirror
 
They punch the used to be perfect mirror
 
They stare at what is now glass shards 
 
They pick up one of the glass shards 
 
All they see is themselves shattered 
 
Clinging to the glass shard until blood drips from their hands
 
Numbness is in the air 
 
Everything is getting darker and it feels as if they are suffocating
 
They are exhausted and they think they want everything to go away
 
Although in reality they just want the mirror back together
 
They can try to put the pieces back together but it will never be the same again
