When a mirror shatters,
one might suffer the
ordeal of putting it back
together,
but it's too easy to
immediately replace the possession.
After throwing out the old one
and replacing it,
it's easier to forget what once
stood.
But you fix it anyway.
You trudge through the shards
of glass.
You trust that each piece lays at your feet.
Each piece carries a stain,
reminding you of the choice you made.
You see yourself in the mirror again.
Your wounds and bandages are displayed.
A touch of the mirror
reveals the reflection.
Jagged, imperfect, broken,
Barely hanging on.
Present each time you
dare to take a second glance.
This is New You. You Stay.
