Broken Mirrors

A Journey of Healing and Resilience

By Quincy.VPublished 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

A broken mirror, shattered and cracked,

Reflecting images distorted and abstract,

Once a symbol of beauty and grace,

Now a ruin, a mere disgrace.

Each shard reveals a fractured truth,

Distorted reflections, a shattered youth,

The past is broken, irreparable and lost,

A reflection of pain, at an unimaginable cost.

What once was whole, now fragmented and torn,

A symbol of the hurt and pain that's borne,

The mirror of life, once perfect and bright,

Now shattered and broken, a sad sight.

Like a broken mirror, we all can break,

With life's hardships and decisions we make,

But like the pieces of a mirror, we can mend,

And piece by piece, ourselves we can tend.

A broken mirror may never be whole,

But it can still reflect a beauty untold,

And just like the mirror, we can still shine,

Even with our broken pieces, we can still be fine.

Thank you, dear readers, for your time, For reading these words that are mine, for taking a moment out of your day, to hear what I have to say.
