When a mirror shatters,
one might suffer the
ordeal of putting it back
together.

It's too easy to

immediately replace the possession.

.

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.
