Broken Mirrors

A broken mirror can be put back together

It will take a lot of time

But it can be put back together.

You will need a ton of patience

to be able to put it back together.

It’s going to take some nurturing

To be able to put it back together.

Though some pieces may be gone for good

It still can be put back together.

Once it’s reassembled, it will never be the same again.

When you look at it, you’ll see all the cracks and missing pieces.

Something that once showed you beautiful,

Will constantly remind you of ugly.

Something that once told you the truth

Will constantly tell you lies.

Looking down at these broken mirrors

I have to ask myself,

Do I have the time to put it back together?

Do I have the patience to put it back together?

Do I have the nurturing soul, to put it back together?

And even if I succeed in putting it back together;

Do I want to constantly be reminded of ugly?

Do I want to constantly be told lies?
