A Perfectly Broken Mirror
Perfectly Broken Mirror by grnidshrk
Even with the most perfect mirror
my reflection is shattered
So many shards
Slivers lost in long battles
Broken in so many places
I can't remember what caused which crack
I never really thought
all those little ones would matter
So many faces
Reflected off my surface
Their problems halved
And mine buried
Yet doubled
I've never really thought
It's so hard
I'm scared
It's painful to try
Halving my own troubles
I think-finally
When all is said and done
They've moved on
Not whole but patched,
Only grains and slivers missing
I'm more tired than ever
But I'm here cracked and shattered
The pain seeping forth
Through the holes in my glass armor
It runs clear down my helmet
and red over my breast
Still I stand
Silently hiding
An obelisk of strength
Filled with brittle beams creaking
And when they leave I break
Before they come back
I put myself together again
I'm rebuit
Fake
A pretty picture painted on torn canvas
But not everthing is right under my armor
It's so opaque now
What's wrong goes unnoticed
Pieces missing or unrepairable
Puddles formed in my boots
Hidden from veiw
It's easier
Safer
It hurts to be so weak
I've been the strong one for so long
Who's going to put my mirror back together?
