The Broken Mirror

I tend to stand in front of the mirror
Where others can see who I want to be
Cracked perception shows only my debris
Foggy glass. I cannot see any clearer

I want to grab one of the shards and put
It through my heart. Through my very being
For my shadows are all that I’m seeing
As I make my way through the dark, barefoot.

I punch the mirror, cracking it further
And my self-perception gets much darker

In this mirror, I don’t see a person
I only see my sins and a demon
And no longer will I be a freeman
My reflection almost seems to worsen

The metaphors are so effective in this one. Made me ponder over every line!
Good job, eclipse:D
