Fragments of a Shattered Mirror
The broken self is still sincere

Beneath the moon's reluctant glow,
A shattered mirror rests below,
Its fractured pieces catch the light,
Reflecting shards of endless night.
Each jagged edge, a tale untold,
Of battles fought, of wounds grown cold.
A splintered past, a fractured view,
Of all I was and all I knew.
The cracks reveal where pain once dwelled,
Where tears like rivers swelled and swelled.
But in the chaos of its break,
I found a beauty none could fake.
For every shard, though sharp and small,
Holds fragments of a greater call.
Together pieced, they form a whole,
A mirror of my mended soul.
Each flaw, a mark of trials braved,
Each scar, a tale of how I’ve saved
Myself from shadows, dark and grim,
To find the strength that lies within.
And so I stand, though not the same,
Embracing both the scars and shame.
For in the fragments, truth is clear:
The broken self is still sincere.
A shattered mirror shows it all—
The beauty in each rise and fall.
And though imperfect, it reflects
A life rebuilt, with no regrets.
