Shattered mirrors

I look in the mirror and I see a mini you  

I look in the mirror and I see who you made me  

I see the creature you raised me to be  

I take a hammer and shattered that image  

It took a long time  

It took a lot of strength  

I shed a lot of tears  

I hesitated because I had to lose you to find myself.  

But I managed to do it  

I am my own person and not a fragment of you  

I don’t fear you or the world we lived in  

I am free from the mirror you trapped me in 

Now I can see my own reflection  

I get scared  

I look at your letters and I can hear my own thoughts 

I read about how you felt, and I see how I feel

One medicated,One bottled up

One trapped, one freed 

I look in the mirror and see you sometimes
