Broken Mirrors

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
The storm hurls, and the wind blows
My ears ring. my head spins
I lose my balance
I slip and fall, I can’t rise
They stump on me, it’s not a surprise

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
Their mass on me, I lose a spine
I try cringing on a vine
I try to stand all in vain
I wanna lie that am fine
I’m caged, am in pain

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
the vine breaks, I fall again
I get a cut, I bleed but no stain
I’m strong, and calm I remain
I become frail, I start to strain
I’m brave, I can't complain

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
loud I scream, but I can’t be heard
weak, I'm separated from the herd
Alone, I lose my mind like I hit my head
I start to shiver it's getting cold
But I can't cry because I’m bold

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
So much weight on my shoulders
I guess I’m confused with Jesus
I handle the pain like I have masters
My body and brain lack consensus
I form a flowing river of tears

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
Haunted and dark, but I still smile
Hopeless but I enjoy life for a while
I review my past file
The good times pile
Then they all become volatile

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
I'm scared as the light disappears
I'm trapped, void, and with darkness
I scream but nobody hears
I'm tired and hopeless
I close my eyes and hope to face my fears

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
my heart race and then starts to slow down
I'm immobile, I can wait for dawn
I'm hungry, I start to yawn
It's raining, I might drown
All I need is a hand, I frown

Broken mirrors, shattered glass
I want out, I try to crawl
I‘m cold, I need a shawl
I’m not alone, I hear a growl
I'm thirsty, I need water in a bowl
I quit, I slit my throat
