You look in the mirror

And see

See too much

See their mistreatment

See your failures

See it all but don’t want to.

---

You look in the mirror

You like it for once

And then you feel

Shame for being vain

Shame for thinking about you

Shame for even thinking. Just

Shame.

---

When smashing the mirror –

the smithereens –

make a realisation –

all of it was a façade =

a masquerade in glass.

---

Because the broken pieces

Make a broken person and

Broken people can only dream of being whole.
