A Shattered Mirror
A shattered Mirror allows a gazer to see
pieces and parts
Of a whole
Broken and spread
The full image cannot be seen
and the end result is broke
the mirror will attempt to place its best foot forward
It will try to create an image of beauty
strength, power
But it is shattered
The mirror will give its all to reveal itself completely
and to build a perfect image
But it is shattered ge
It tries to reflect the ideal image
One all look to; one all adore and praise
But it is shattered
Creating an incomplete image
All its efforts seemingly for naught
A shattered mirror reflects a shattered person
A broken person
Very different but all the same
Broken in a world that seems so fixed
And reaching to create the perfect image
Strength
Power Success
While a shattered mirror may not be able to reveal an image of perfection
It shows something of a much higher value
It reflects all sides of the mirror
All corners and all parts
All the pieces open to gazers
Everything the mirror has to offer the world
Not covered, Not hidden behind "perfection
A shattered mirror reflects reality
Reflects beauty, much more than any pristine mirror could
They deserve to be seen as beautiful
Because they are willing to reflect all their sides
They are real
and they refuse to submit to being a perfect image.
