Shards of me
I uttered the word, inner peace
To ram the thoughts inside my head
I repeated the words in a frantic beat
A thousand voices repeated themselves
The fleeting mind scattered over
Felt the friction growing loose
When a thousand voices peeled me open
It slowly started tightening the noose
You think you have it in you
After what you did to the mirrored face
Your black heart takes more than it gives
Now get ready to face the foe you've made
I broke the mirror, the mirror broke back
Shards of broken faces glaring at me
You can’t defeat what lives inside
So stop the fight and dare to see
I saw, I cried in guilt-driven shame
The shards mimicked, as if to break
The mind boomed in guttural explosion
Do you have the blood to give, what you take
The I melted into who am i
Still, the ego coaxed no, no, and no
The mind mocked loud, you pitiful daisy
Know the difference between a no and know
I broke the mirror, the mirror broke back
Every shard reflecting truth in me
You can’t outrun what lives inside
So I stopped the war and chose to see
It forced my eyes to split open
I opened with a scream, resonating far
The peeping voices were gone for good
in stringent echo, the mind spoke back
and simply said, " Then be who you are."
